The present disclosure relates to a method of molding a combustible heat source and provides a method of molding a combustible heat source, the method including: step S1 of preparing a combustible heat source composition including a carbon powder, an organic binder, and an ignition accelerator, step S2 of treating glycerin or propylene glycol on the combustible heat source composition; and step S3 of compressing and molding the composition after the treatment, in which the compressing in step S3 is performed at a strength of 0.5 to 10 MPa.

Provided are a gel receptor rod including a gel-like aerosol generating substrate including glycerin and carrageenan, which exists in the form of a gel in a first temperature range including room temperature, changes into a sol phase in a second temperature range including 80? C., and vaporizes into an aerosol in a temperature range of 100? C. to 350? C., a gel receptor in which the gel-like aerosol generating substrate is accommodated, and a wrapping paper wrapping the side of the gel receptor in a cylindrical shape, an electrically heated smoking article including a filter, a tube provided upstream of the filter, and a gel receptor rod provided upstream of the tube. The filter, the tube, and the gel receptor rod are wrapped with wrapping paper to form a cigarette. An aerosol generating device is also provided.

The traditional filters used in cigarettes are found to be ineffective in trapping the toxic chemical compounds which cigarette produces during combustion. The current invention aims to provide systems and methods (or to a universal filter) to reduce amines and nitrosamines in cigarette smoke vapors through a filter functionalized with olive tree polyphenols. Amines and Nitrosamines are highly toxic chemicals in the smoke and aerosol of a combusted cigarette. Olive polyphenols are able to trap amines and nitrosamines by establishing weak and strong interactions with these compounds by trapping these compounds in the filter.

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 filtering apparatus for filtering particles out of cigarette smoke includes a tube having a smoking end and a suction end, and a perimeter wall which is gas impermeable. A first filter is coupled to and is positioned within the tube adjacent to the suction end. The first filter comprises a first filtering substance that is gas permeable and is configured for capturing particulates in smoke when the smoke flows through the first filtering substance. The first filtering substance comprises cotton wool. A second filter is coupled to and is positioned within the tube adjacent to the first filter. The second filter comprises a second filtering substance that is gas permeable and is configured for capturing particulates in the smoke when the smoke flows through the second filtering substance. The second filtering substance comprises one of coconut activated carbon and bamboo activated carbon.
