Electrically heated cigarettes used in an electrical smoking system include a flavoring-release additive and sorbent effective to remove one or more gas-phase constituents of mainstream tobacco smoke. The flavoring-release additive includes gamma cyclodextrin and at least one flavoring. Flavoring is released in a cigarette upon the flavoring-release additive reaching at least a minimum temperature during smoking. The flavoring-release additive can have various forms including, for example, powder and films.

The present disclosure provides a method of preparing whitened tobacco composition including chemically pulping a tobacco material to form a tobacco pulp, extracting the tobacco pulp with an extraction solution, treating the tobacco pulp with a solution comprising an oxidizing agent for a time and at a temperature sufficient to lighten the color of the tobacco pulp to give a whitened tobacco pulp, and drying the whitened tobacco pulp to provide the whitened tobacco composition. Alternative bleaching processes and treatment methods effective for preparing whitened tobacco compositions are also provided herein.

Methods that use a tobacco product to reduce or mitigate some of the negative effects of tobacco consumption, particularly cancer development are described. The tobacco product contains (a) nicotine, (b) at least one of an isothiocyanate or isothiocyanate precursor, (c) myrosinase and (d) a synthetic isothiocyanate. The product can further include at least one of thymoquinone, resveratrol, synthetic vitamin C, thymoquinone resveratrol and a synthetic vitamin C.

A combustion retarding material including a combustion retarding salt and an amorphous solid material as well as consumables having the combustion retarding material, and non-combustible aerosol provision systems having such consumables. Methods for manufacturing the combustion retarding material and the use of a combustion retarding salt and an amorphous material to retard combustion.

A modified cigarette is used as a low-cost, widely available combustion engine to deliver high-dose nitric oxide (NO) directly into the lungs of people ill from a viral lung pandemic, similar to the influenza virus or the coronavirus.

A material with combustion retarding properties including a combustion retarding salt and an aerosol-generating material, consumables including the material, and non-combustible aerosol provision systems including such consumables. Methods for manufacturing the material with combustion retarding properties and the use of a combustion retarding salt to retard combustion.

A delivery system including an aerosol-generating material, an aerosolizable material and an aerosol-modifying agent release component. The aerosol-generating material can include tobacco material. The aerosolizable material can include an inorganic material, a binder and an aerosol-former material. The aerosol-modifying agent release component can include an aerosol modifying agent.

Embodiments described herein include a ground tobacco composition, wherein at least 90% by weight of the tobacco in the composition has a particle size in the range of about 200 μm to about 5 mm.

Encapsulated tobacco beads and processes of making the encapsulated tobacco beads are disclosed. According to an embodiment, a process of making encapsulated tobacco beads comprises mixing tobacco particles and menthol in an aqueous solution to form a wet mass; extruding the wet mass to form extrudates; spheronizing the extrudates to form tobacco beads; drying the tobacco beads; contacting the beads with a solution comprising a cation; and introducing the contacted tobacco beads into a solution of coating material in a concentration effective to induce ionic gelation of the coating material around the beads, to form encapsulated tobacco beads having gel coatings. According to another embodiment, an encapsulated tobacco bead comprises a core comprising tobacco particles and encapsulated menthol, an inner coating layer comprising hydroxypropyl methylcellulose or pectin, and an outer coating layer comprising an ionically-crosslinked gel.

Disclosed are systems and methods for automatic infusion of concentrate and distillate material into cigarettes or other containers. In one embodiment, a thermally-controlled infusion system is provided. The system can maintain a selected temperature of the concentrate material throughout the infusion process, using a two-stage approach. In a first stage, the concentrate material is pressure-fed to a dosing chamber. In the second stage, the concentrate material is pumped into an insertion cannula and into a cigarette or container. A revolver houses the cigarettes or containers and vertically transitions them to an insertion position, where the insertion cannula can infuse the cigarettes or containers.
