An article for use with a non-combustible aerosol provision device includes an aerosol generating material; a mouth end section; a tubular element located between the aerosol generating material and the mouth end section, and a ventilation area in the mouth end section.

A smoking article comprises a tobacco rod and a filter connected to the tobacco rod. The filter comprises a first filter segment and a hollow tube segment downstream of the first filter segment. The hollow tube segment defines a cavity at the mouth end of the filter providing an unrestricted flow channel that extends from the downstream end of the first filter segment to the mouth end of the filter. The length of the hollow tube segment is at least about (25) percent and less than about (50) percent of the overall filter length. Further, the smoking article comprises a ventilation zone in communication with the cavity at a location along the hollow tube segment.

A filter element incorporating an adsorbent material is provided. The filter element may comprise a first section of filter material and a second section of filter material spaced apart to form a compartment therebetween. The compartment may be filled with one or more adsorbents or the compartment may be divided into two regions, wherein one compartment region is filled with an adsorbent and the other compartment region is either filled with an ion-exchange resin or remains empty. The section of filter material adjacent to the tobacco rod may include one or more channels therethrough for passaging smoke directly from the tobacco rod into the adsorbent-filled compartment. The mouth end section of filter material may contain a breakable capsule, wherein the breakable capsule is filled with a flavoring agent capable of altering the taste characteristics of mainstream smoke.

A smoking article comprising a first part moveable relative to a second part, and an indexing mechanism comprising a first indexing surface on the first part, and a second indexing surface on a support element of the second part. The second indexing surface is configured to engage with the first indexing surface to control relative movement between the first part and second part. One or more spacer elements are arranged to control a radial position of the first indexing surface relative to the second indexing surface. The support element and one or more spacer elements are frangibly connected.

A smoking article, a smoking article assembly, a blank for forming a smoking article, and a method of manufacturing a smoking article. A smoking article comprising one or more rod articles, an inner layer extending around the rod articles, and an outer layer extending around the inner layer. The inner and outer layers are integrally formed. The outer layer comprises a selection portion configured to move over an underlying part of the inner layer to select a property of the smoking article.
