An aerosol-generating film having a tobacco content of less than 1 percent by weight is provided, the aerosol-generating film including: a cellulose based film-forming agent; a non-cellulose based thickening agent; water; nicotine; and a polyhydric alcohol, a content of cellulose based film-forming agent being at least about 14 wt percent weight and less than or equal to about 26 wt percent, and a content of water being less than about 30 wt percent and a content of polyhydric alcohol is at least about 30 wt percent.

A pouched product adapted for release of a releasable component therefrom is provided herein. The pouched product can include a water-permeable fabric pouch formed so as to define a cavity therein, and a composition contained within the cavity of the water-permeable fabric pouch, the composition including one or more releasable components that are released from the composition under mouth conditions and that are capable of movement through the water-permeable fabric pouch. The composition includes nicotine and at least one particulate non-tobacco material. The pouched product also includes at least one capsule contained within the cavity of the water-permeable fabric pouch, the capsule having a capsule wall surrounding an inner payload comprising at least one botanical.

Sweetener compositions comprising particular glycoside blends are described in this paper. The glycioside blends comprise rebaudioside A, rebaudioside B, and/or rebaudioside D in various proportions. The sweetener composition can also include one or more bulking agents or other ingredients. The sweetener compositions can be used in foods and beverages.

A fiber-wrapped smokeless tobacco product includes smokeless tobacco and a plurality of polymeric fibers surrounding the smokeless tobacco. The polymeric fibers can have a basis weight of 5 gsm or less and a diameter of less than 100 microns. In some cases, the polymeric fibers are melt-blown polymeric fibers. In some cases, the polymeric fibers are centrifugal force spun polymeric fibers. A method of preparing a fiber-wrapped smokeless tobacco product includes melt-blowing or centrifugal force spinning a plurality of polymeric fibers to create an polymer deposition zone and passing a body comprising smokeless tobacco through the polymer deposition zone. In some cases, an electrostatic charge can be applied to the plurality of polymeric fibers, the body, or a combination thereof. In some cases, a spin is applied to the body when passing through the polymer deposition zone.

A gum of vegetable origin for rolling cigarette paper including a solids content, includes a mixture of cannabinoids and edible oil, the edible oil being present in the mixture in a proportion p such that 0%≤p≤80% by weight of the compound. Since cannabinoids are soluble only in oil and the gum is intended to be brought to the mouth because it should be reactivatable by licking once coated, smoked and swallowed, oil is edible.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for forming a Cannabis product, comprising the steps of: combining tetrahydrocannabinol and ethanol to form a THC-alcohol compound, the THC-alcohol compound comprising less than fifty percent water by mass and subjecting the THC-alcohol compound to a shear force in excess of 100 or 50,000 sec.sup.−1. Optionally and preferably, formation of the Cannabis product results after successive steps of reducing viscosity of the tetrahydrocannabinol compound, such as by 2000+ cP and 20+ cP, or after reversing a first viscosity reducing step of 2000+ cP with a subsequent viscosity increase of 2000+ cP, such as in the formation of a THC containing drink, edible, vape pen solution, or preroll.

Embodiments of the present invention provide pouches including a capsule delivers medium chain triglycerides (MCT), which are a non-stick oil agent that prevent the paper from sticking during use. This oil is released from the capsule and flows through the walls of the pouch paper to substantially improve mouth feel and flavor. The oil can be flavored, and the nicotine pouch offers a pleasant mouth feel during use without sticking to the gums. The capsule can also provide an anti-sting effect that reduces unpleasant effects of nicotine for sensitive users.

A tobacco substitute for the production of smoking products and/or smoking product substitutes, the tobacco substitute being based on a mixture of plant parts comprising plant parts derived from Alchemilla vulgaris and Myrtus communis, at least 5% by weight of caffeine-containing plant parts derived from both Ilex paraguayensis and Thea sinensis, at least 10% by weight of Althea officinalis leaves, and moreover 1 to 5% by weight of hyaluronic acid.

The invention relates to an oral nicotine formulation for use in the alleviation of nicotine craving, the formulation comprising a content of nicotine and a content of a pH regulating agent, wherein the formulation is designed for the content of nicotine to dissolve in the oral saliva within a period of less than 90 seconds upon oral administration, and wherein at least 40% by weight of the nicotine is absorbed through the oral mucosa.

A fiber-wrapped smokeless tobacco product includes smokeless tobacco and a plurality of polymeric fibers surrounding the smokeless tobacco. The polymeric fibers can have a basis weight of 5 gsm or less and a diameter of less than 100 microns. In some cases, the polymeric fibers are melt-blown polymeric fibers. In some cases, the polymeric fibers are centrifugal force spun polymeric fibers. A method of preparing a fiber-wrapped smokeless tobacco product includes melt-blowing or centrifugal force spinning a plurality of polymeric fibers to create an polymer deposition zone and passing a body comprising smokeless tobacco through the polymer deposition zone. In some cases, an electrostatic charge can be applied to the plurality of polymeric fibers, the body, or a combination thereof. In some cases, a spin is applied to the body when passing through the polymer deposition zone.
