Provided is an adsorbent which does not undergo the seeping of an oily component contained therein to an area surrounding the absorbent and has an excellent property to absorb a specific range of hydrocarbons. More specifically provided is a granular absorbent comprising a granular base material, an oil or fat having a melting point of 50° C. or higher and a polyol.

Disclosed are keratin fibre cellular components, specifically keratin fibre cuticle and cortical cells, and their use as absorption and filtration media, and in thermal insulation materials. The keratin fibre cellular components may be oxidised. The keratin fibre cellular components have improved absorbency and filtration capacity compared to the source keratin fibres. The keratin fibre cellular components may be used in, for example, various products for passive absorption and active filtration of gas or liquid media.

A device for use while burning smoking material and inhaling the resulting smoke is disclosed. The device can include a filter having a recess formed in a surface of a 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. The device may be received by a first end a tubular member formed to receive a smoking material, that when burned passes smoke into the device.

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.
