Smoking article with reduced sidestream smoke
A smoking article (10) comprises a tobacco rod (12) and a filter (14) connected to the tobacco rod. The filter (14) comprises a flow restrictor (24). The smoking article further comprises a ventilation zone (18) at a location along the filter downstream of the flow restrictor. The diameter of the tobacco rod (12) is from about 5 mm to about 8.5 mm, the tobacco packing density within the tobacco rod is from about 180 mg/cubic centimetre to about 280 mg/cubic centimetre, and the length of the tobacco rod is from about 15 mm to about 45 mm. Further, the tobacco rod (12) is circumscribed by a wrapper (13) having an air permeability of less than about 20 Coresta units, the wrapper being made of a transparent regenerated cellulose film, or cellophane.
MULTI-PHASE DELIVERY COMPOSITIONS AND PRODUCTS INCORPORATING SUCH COMPOSITIONS
The present disclosure relates to compositions that are useful in the delivery of various materials. In particular, the compositions comprise a suspension wherein an internal phase material is surrounded by an external phase material. The internal phase specifically can be a hydrophilic material, and the external phase specifically can be a hydrophobic material. The materials are combined so that the internal phase is substantially encapsulated by the external phase such that release can be controlled in relation to osmotic pressure differentials. The suspension can be combined with a carrier, and various systems and products can be formed with the suspension and optional carrier, such as oral strips, spray delivery systems, smokeless tobacco products, aerosol delivery devices, cigarettes, and packaging.
Cannabis wrapper for smoking articles
A wrapping material for a smoking article is formed from a web that includes extracted pieces of cannabis combined with web building fibers. The web has a basis weight of from about 20 gsm to about 80 gsm and a permeability of from about 10 Coresta to about 100 Coresta. The wrapping material has a natural cannabis smell and taste. The wrapping material is tobacco and nicotine free and can be used as a carrier for flavorings or aerosol delivery compositions.
Aerosol generating article having water dispersible filter component
An aerosol generating article (10) comprises: an aerosol generating substrate (12); a filter (14) in axial alignment with the aerosol generating substrate, the filter (14) comprising at least one water dispersible filter component (16), wherein the filter component is water dispersible under the test conditions of EN 14987:2006; and a tipping wrapper (20) wrapped around the filter (14) and at least a portion of the aerosol generating substrate (12). The tipping wrapper (20) comprises: a first weakening line (22) extending around at least a portion of the tipping wrapper (20); a removable tipping wrapper portion (26) extending downstream from the at least one weakening line (22) and at least partially overlying the water dispersible filter component (16); and an upstream tipping wrapper portion (24) extending upstream from the first weakening line (22), wherein the upstream tipping wrapper portion (24) is attached to a downstream portion of the aerosol generating substrate (12) and an upstream portion of the filter (14).
Rolling paper structures apparatus and method for creating smoking device
A rolling paper structure and method for making a hand rolled smoking article wherein said rolling paper structure is filled with a filler material and rolled to form a smoking structure such as a cigarette. The rolling paper structure comprises detachable sections and it is configured to create smoking structure with an integrated mouthpiece.
Cigarette tube, plano for a cigarette tube, method for forming a cigarette tube, and packaging for multiple cigarette tubes
The invention relates to a cigarette tube (1) comprising a shell (2) with an inhalation end (8), a lighting end (9) and an internal channel (3) with a center line (Q), wherein the shell (2) comprises a cigarette paper (5) around the center line (Q), wherein the cigarette paper (5) has meeting overlapping edges that form a seam (4) of the shell (2), wherein the seam (4) has in the direction of the center line (Q) between its opposite ends a helicoid curvature around the center line (Q).
AEROSOL GENERATION
An aerosol generating article for use in an aerosol generating assembly, the aerosol generating article comprising a rod of aerosolizable material circumscribed by a wrapper, wherein the wrapper comprises an aerosol-forming amorphous solid.
AEROSOL-GENERATING ARTICLE AND AEROSOL-GENERATING SYSTEMS
Provided is an aerosol-generating article including a wrapper which is discolored as the aerosol-generating material is heated, the aerosol-generating article including: a tobacco rod; a front-end plug arranged on a side of the tobacco rod; a filter rod arranged on the other side of the tobacco rod; and the wrapper surrounding the tobacco rod, the front-end plug, and the filter rod, wherein the wrapper includes a thermochromic material which is heated and discolored by an aerosol-generating device when the aerosol-generating article is inserted into the aerosol-generating device.
Non-Combustible Wrapper For Use in Heat But Not Burn Applications
A paper well suited for use as a wrapper in heat but not burn sticks is disclosed. The paper includes a base web made from cellulosic fibers combined with a flame retardant filler and/or can include a coating formed from a reduced ignition composition.
CIGARETTE WRAPPER WITH NOVEL PATTERN
A wrapper for a smoking article has a base web and a plurality of crenellated bands, each having a diffusivity value in the range of 0 to about 0.2 cm/sec. The add-on material can be applied by gravure printing in a single pass in a chevron pattern such that an apex of the element is co-linear with substantially symmetrically spaced points on a trailing, outer edge of an adjacent chevron element. Testing elements may be simultaneously printed with the add-on material to monitor diffusivity and/or presence of add-on material.
