The present disclosure relates to a filter for a smoking device, such as, but not limited to, a water pipe. The filter includes a body that is positionable over a mouthpiece of the smoking device, to filter impurities from smoke drawn therethrough, and a base that secures the body over the mouthpiece such that smoke is drawn therethrough, prior to inhalation by a user. The body can include one of more filtration layers, such as a first layer formed from a material selected to filter carcinogens and other impurities from the smoke prior to inhalation, and a second layer formed from a material selected to minimize or prevent the transmission of bacteria, viruses, or other contagions from a user's mouth to the smoking device. Each of the filtration layers can also be formed from one or more materials.

A filter assembly has an outer housing having an open first end and an open second end. An inner filter housing is within the outer housing adjacent the second end, and a gasket is provided at the first end of the outer housing. An internal chamber is provided between the first end of the outer housing and the inner filter housing, where during use, fluid from the within the internal chamber is drawn out the second end of the outer housing by way of the inner filter housing. A filter is provided within the inner filter housing. The gasket forms a gasketed opening smaller than the open first end of the outer housing. The gasket may extend axially adjacent a wall of the outer housing and abut the inner filter housing, such that the internal chamber is defined by the gasket and the inner filter housing.

An article for use with a smoking device that is configured to be insertable into a chamber defined in the smoking device. The article includes an air-permeable filter member that comprises plant-based material that permits a user to combust a smoking device's contents. Upon combustion of a smoking device's contents, the combustible smoking filter may also combust and be smoked.

The invention relates to a smoking article (10) comprising a tobacco rod (12) and a filter, the filter comprising a filter unit (14) comprising a first segment (16) of filtration material; a second segment comprising a tubular element (18) of filtration material upstream of the first segment (16), the tubular element (18) having an outer diameter (D2) and an inner diameter (D1). An inner surface of the tubular element (18) is substantially air impermeable. The second segment further comprises a frangible or irreversibly collapsible flow restrictor (24) disposed in the tubular element (18). When the flow restrictor (24) is in a substantially unbroken or non-collapsed state, the filter unit (14) has a first RTD. When the flow restrictor (24) is broken or collapsed, the filter unit (14) has a second RTD, the second RTD being smaller than the first RTD.

A filtered smoking article includes a smoking body, a filter including a filter member and an air-permeable paper, and having a flavor capsule arranged therein, and a tipping paper. The flavor capsule includes a capsule body, and a colored content liquid containing a flavor component. The air-permeable paper is arranged to be opposed to a region in which the colored content liquid is released when the flavor capsule is crushed, and has an air permeability of 1,000 C.U. to 30,000 C.U. The tipping paper is impermeable to the colored content liquid, and includes at least three transparent parts. Each of the transparent parts is arranged to be opposed to the region in which the colored content liquid is released.

A tobacco rod, an aerosol-generating article including the same, and an aerosol generation device used with the aerosol-generating article are provided. The tobacco rod according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may include a first filter segment, a second filter segment, and a cavity segment which is formed by the first filter segment and the second filter segment and filled with a tobacco material. Here, at least one of the first filter segment and the second filter segment may include a paper material that is grease-resistant or water-resistant. Accordingly, a problem that vapor production is decreased due to moisture absorption from components of smoke can be addressed, and a heat-resistant tobacco rod can be manufactured.

The present disclosure relates to a component for a delivery system. The component comprises a sheet material that is arranged into a body of material and at least one additive capsule incorporated with the body such that, in use, the additive capsule is breakable upon the application of a force to the body by a user. The present disclosure also relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing a component for a delivery system.

A filter material for manufacturing a segment of a smoking article is described, wherein the filter material comprises a hydro-entangled nonwoven and the nonwoven comprises fibers, wherein the fibers are selected from the group consisting of pulp fibers, fibers of regenerated cellulose and mixtures thereof, and these fibers are together contained in the nonwoven in an amount of at least 50% and at most 100% of the mass of the hydro-entangled nonwoven, and wherein the nonwoven is in the form of a web, has a longitudinal direction in the running direction of the web, a cross direction orthogonal thereto and lying in the plane of the web and a thickness direction orthogonal to longitudinal direction and the cross direction. The nonwoven is shaped such that it has a wave structure in the plane formed by the cross direction and the thickness direction with a wave height of at least 50 .Math.m and at most 1000 .Math.m, as well as a wave length (22, 32, 42) of at least 150 .Math.m and at most 5000 .Math.m.

A smoking product and method of making thereof for the consumption of a smokable substance. The product has a hollow conical shape that allows for the easy insertion of smokable substances. Additionally, the conical or frustoconical shape of the product provides for larger amounts of smokable substances in the end of the product the consumer lights, resulting in an initial slower prolonged burn. Additionally, the product includes a supporting filter tip with a frangible capsule contained therein and is packaged for sale in packaging in an unfilled state allowing a user to remove the product from the packaging, fill it with the user's selected custom smokable filler and form a custom smoking product.

A device for filtering smoke, in particular tobacco and/or cannabis cigarette filters, comprising a jacket, in which jacket there are provided at least a first portion, a second portion and a third portion, the second portion being arranged between the first portion and the third portion, wherein in the first section a first nonwoven filter material, in the second section a porous filter material, and in the third section a second nonwoven filter material being provided in the third section; wherein a fourth section is provided in the jacket, wherein the third section is arranged between the second section and the fourth section, and wherein the fourth section is arranged such that, when flowing through the jacket, a pressure drop across the fourth section is lower than a pressure drop across the third section.
