A tobacco industry product (1) comprising a mouthpiece (3) having a mouth end (4) positionable between the lips of a user is disclosed. The mouth end comprises an organoleptic substance (5), so that the organoleptic substance comes into contact with the user's lips during use. A transverse cross sectional profile of the mouth end comprises major (A1) and minor (A2) axes that are perpendicular to each other. The profile being longer in a direction extending along the major axis than in a direction extending along the minor axis.

Improvements are provided in filters for use in smoking articles, including the use of randomly oriented discrete fibres. The improvements mainly relate to the loss of additive(s) in said filters and to the manufacture thereof. In one embodiment, a filter for a smoking article includes randomly oriented discrete fibres and at least one particulate additive, the at least one particulate additive being dispersed within the filter, wherein a value obtained by dividing a volume fraction of the at least one particulate additive by a volume fraction of the fibres is less than about 1100%.

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.

A device for burning smoking material and inhaling the resulting smoke is disclosed. The device can include a tubular member formed from a dried leaf having an internal elongated cavity extending from an open end to a closed end. The elongated cavity can be configured to receive a smoking material. The smoking accessory can include a filter disposed within dried leaf and defining the closed end. The filter can have a recess formed in a surface of the cylindrical body along a curved face extending from the first end to the second end, the recess extending radially into the cylindrical body. The smoking accessory can include a capsule containing a flavoring agent disposed within the recess.

A smoking article includes a mouthpiece having an outer surface and a cooling agent inclusion complex disposed on the outer surface.

One or more embodiments relate to a cellulose acetate tow, a filter including the same, and an aerosol generating article including the filter.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing: a filter in which a liquid having phenol filtration capability is prevented from leaking out even after prolonged storage; and a flavor inhalation article equipped with said filter. The problem is solved by a filter that is for a flavor inhalation article, and that has a filtering medium including a biodegradable material, and a paper roll wound around the filtering medium. The filtering medium contains a liquid having a phenol filtration capability. A surface of the roll paper where a contact is made with the filtering medium is made of a layer exhibiting liquid-repellent properties with respect to said liquid.

A device for burning smoking material and inhaling the resulting smoke is disclosed. The device can include an truncated conical member formed from a material having an internal elongated cavity extending from an open end to a closed end. The elongated cavity can be configured to receive a smoking material. The smoking accessory can include a filter disposed within the truncated conical member and defining the closed end. The filter can have a recess formed in a surface of the body along a curved face extending from the first end to the second end, the recess extending radially into the body. The smoking accessory can include a capsule containing a flavoring agent disposed within the recess.

A breakable capsule such as a seamless breakable capsule useful in a smoking article or a smokeless tobacco product includes an outer shell formed of a cross-linked agar matrix including at least one filler, and an inner core surrounded by the outer shell which comprises a liquid or gel based composition of a flavorant and/or non-flavorant. The cross-linked agar matrix is reinforced with carboxymethyl cellulose that is dispersed throughout the agar matrix so as to fill empty spaces in the agar matrix and inhibit the composition from passing through the empty spaces of the agar matrix.

Provided is a non-combustion heating-type tobacco which is rod shaped and comprises a tobacco rod part and a mouthpiece part. The mouthpiece part comprises a filter segment which includes a filter filter-material. The filter filter-material has a Y-shape in a circumferential direction cross-section, and is made of fibers having a single-fiber denier of 8-12.
