There is provided a smoking article comprising a tobacco rod, a filter and tipping material attaching the tobacco rod and the filter. The filter comprises a plug of filtration material that defines a downstream end segment of the smoking article, the plug being surrounded by one or more filter wrappers. The hardness of the smoking article at the downstream end segment is at least about 90%, and the filtration material extends to the furthest downstream end of the filter.

A tube (10) for temporary affixment to a mouthpiece of a smoking article (80), the tube (10) comprising an open upstream end, an open downstream end, an outer surface, and an inner surface defining a lumen for receiving the mouthpiece of the smoking article, the lumen extending from the open upstream end to the open downstream end; the tube further comprising a first ventilation zone (50) for providing ventilation into the lumen of the tube, the first ventilation zone comprising a first line of perforation holes (52) circumscribing the tube at a location at least 10 mm from the open downstream end of the tube.

An aerosol-generating article extending from a mouth end to a distal end is provided, including: an aerosol-generating element; and a downstream section located downstream of the aerosol-generating element, the downstream section extending from a downstream end of the aerosol-generating element to the mouth end of the aerosol-generating article, a resistance to draw (RTD) of the downstream section being less than 10 mm H.sub.2O, between about 5 percent and about 35 percent of a length of the downstream section includes a first section defining a first empty region for air to flow, at least about 65 percent of the length of the downstream section further includes a second section defining a second empty region for air to flow, and a total cross-sectional area of the first empty region defined by the first section being less than a total cross-sectional area of the second empty region defined by the second section.

A tobacco extract sheet, a method of producing the same, and a smoking article including the same are provided. The tobacco extract sheet according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be produced from a sheet-producing liquid which includes a first tobacco extract solution, a second tobacco extract solution, and a sheet-forming agent, wherein the first tobacco extract solution may include water as an extraction solvent, and the second tobacco extract solution may include a material other than water as an extraction solvent. The tobacco extract sheet produced in this way may be applied to a smoking article and may significantly improve persistence of a tobacco smoke taste of the smoking article.

A smoking product includes: a smoking material portion which is wrapped by a smoking material wrapper; a filter portion whose upstream end portion is combined with the smoking material portion, which includes a capsule containing a flavoring, and which is wrapped by a filter wrapper; and a tipping wrapper which surrounds at least a partial region of the smoking material portion and the filter portion so that the smoking material portion and the filter portion are combined, wherein the tipping wrapper includes a first perforation region including a plurality of perforations formed along an outer circumferential surface of the tipping wrapper and a second perforation region including a plurality of perforations formed downstream of the first perforation region and along the outer circumferential surface of the tipping wrapper, and the capsule is disposed downstream of the first perforation region and upstream of the second perforation region.

There is provided a smoking article comprising a tobacco rod, a filter and tipping material attaching the tobacco rod and the filter. The filter comprises a plug of filtration material that defines a downstream end segment of the smoking article, the plug being surrounded by one or more filter wrappers. The hardness of the smoking article at the downstream end segment is at least about 90%, and the filtration material extends to the furthest downstream end of the filter.

A tip device for an electronic vaping device may include a first conduit structure and a second conduit structure. The first conduit structure may be configured to direct a generated vapor through a first conduit. The second conduit structure may be configured to direct an air flow from an ambient environment through a second conduit. The second conduit structure may include an additive material on a surface of the second conduit structure, the additive material including an additive, the additive material configured to release the additive into the air flow directed through the second conduit. An interposing structure of the first conduit structure and the second conduit structure may physically isolate the additive material from the first conduit, such that the additive material is configured to release the additive into the air flow directed through the second conduit independently of the generated vapor directed through the first conduit.

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.

Provided is a smoking article that allows easy inhaling of a powder at a smoker's own timing, and can suppress powder spill at an unintentional timing such as during production or shipment. The smoking article includes: a tobacco rod containing tobacco; and a filter connected to an end part of the tobacco rod through a tipping paper. The filter includes a powder-containing substance that is a lump of a crude powder containing at least one of a gustatory component and a flavor component, and turns into powder when external force is applied thereon, a cavity in which the powder-containing substance is placed, and a flow path that connects the cavity and a mouthpiece end, allows passage of the powder, and has a smaller inner diameter than an outer diameter of the powder-containing substance.

A filter for a smoking article or an aerosol generating product comprising filter material and three capsules comprising additive, the capsules being disposed in sequence in a direction along a longitudinal axis of the filter.
