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.

The disclosure provides a product including a plurality of beads configured for oral use, the plurality of beads containing bleached plant material, a filler, a binder, water, and at least one flavoring agent, active ingredient, or a combination thereof. Further provided are pouched products including the plurality of beads, and a process for preparing the beads.

An aerosol-generating composition including an amorphous solid, the amorphous solid having : (a) aerosol generating agent in an amount of from about 25 to 80 wt% of the amorphous solid; (b) one or more gelling agents selected from cellulosic gelling agents, guar gum, acacia gum and mixtures thereof; (c) filler in an amount of at least about 15 wt% of the amorphous solid; and (d) optionally, active substance; wherein the amount of gelling agent and filler taken together is from about 20 to 75 wt% of the amorphous solid.

An article for use in a non-combustible aerosol provision system. A portion of the article includes a first amorphous solid material, and the portion is further surrounded by a layer or sheet of a second amorphous solid material.

The disclosure provides methods of preparing agglomerated botanical materials and associated oral products including such agglomerated botanical materials. Some aspects of the disclosure provide methods for preparing an agglomerated botanical material, which include combining botanical particle fines having an average particle size of about 300 microns or less with a binding agent, forming agglomerated botanical particles from the combined botanical particle fines and binding agent, and optionally, treating the agglomerated botanical particles to increase water stability.

Immobilized diluents in a smoking article are provided, wherein diluents can be immobilized through absorption and/or adsorption of the diluents into immobilizing materials, such as sorbents like silica gels. By immobilizing diluents, the diluents can be available for vaporization, while still being protected from migration and/or loss of the diluents in a smoking article.
