The present disclosure relates to a heat-not-burn (HNB) aerosol-generating article, which comprises aerosol-generating raw material, aerosol-generating agent, and water. The aerosol-generating raw material is pre-pulverized and then sieved through a 40-200 mesh sieve. The aerosol-generating raw material, the aerosol-generating agent, and water are mixed in a certain proportion and blended into paste, so that the HNB aerosol-generating article is in a shape of paste stick when extruded, and is used to be injected into the HNB cartridge tube by extrusion into the paste stick. The paste stick HNB aerosol-generating article has internal pores in a form of loose paste stick. When the user performs a suction action, the pores are convenient for the aerosol passing through the paste stick HNB aerosol-generating article into the human mouth smoothly. The above-mentioned HNB aerosol-generating article is suitable for HNB non-tobacco products or HNB tobacco products and the like.

According to one embodiment, a method of producing a tobacco molded article, includes formulating a tobacco kneaded material by kneading a tobacco mixture containing a tobacco raw material, a binder and water, molding the tobacco kneaded material to obtain a molded body and adding a flavor to the molded body.

An aerosol-generating component including at least one active that is not nicotine, wherein the aerosol-generating component is formed by an additive manufacturing process from a feedstock material including the at least one active. There is also provided a process for preparing an aerosol-generating component including at least one active that is not nicotine, wherein the at least one active is included in a feedstock material that is used to form the aerosol-generating component by an additive manufacturing process. Also provided is a delivery system including an aerosol-generating component as described herein.

A system for preparing an aerosol-generating component customized by a user including an apparatus for using one or more feedstock materials in an additive manufacturing process, wherein the one or more feedstock material is selected and formed into an aerosolizable substrate by the additive manufacturing process in accordance with instructions provided by the user. There is also provided a process for producing a customized aerosol-generating component, the process including forming one or more feedstock materials into the aerosol-generating component by an additive manufacturing process in accordance with instructions provided by the user.

A machine for preparing a smokeable product, the machine comprising a housing, a capsule receiving compartment within the housing, the capsule receiving compartment configured to receive a capsule used to prepare the smokeable product, a rolling medium holder movably coupled to the housing, the rolling medium holder configured to receive at least one rolling medium and move between an open position and a closed position, and a tamper coupled to the housing and configured to facilitate movement of smokeable material from the capsule into a rolling medium.

The present disclosure provides component-containing extruded structures, which include various components entrapped within a base material matrix, and to products containing such component-containing extruded structures. The disclosure also includes a method for entrapping the components, including mixing the component or components with a base material in water, extruding the mixture, and removing at least a portion of the water therefrom. The resulting component-containing extruded structure can then be incorporated within various products, e.g., consumable products such as aerosol-generating devices and components, oral and smokeless products, and conventional smoking articles.

The present document generally relates to methods and materials involved in producing tobacco or smokeless tobacco product comprising chlorate. For example, chlorate can be used to reduce tobacco specific nitrosamine content in tobacco or smokeless tobacco products.

Herbage such as trimmed Cannabis flowers have a reflective coating that sparkles and improves shelf life. The invention includes a first coating of a first Cannabis plant extract including at least 60%-98% Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that forms a hardened layer on the dried herbage to mechanically preserve the shape of the herbage and enables handling and grinding of the herbage. A second coating of a second Cannabis plant extract, including at least 90-99% Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa) forms crystals, or “diamonds”, that are embedded in the first coating to improve aesthetics by reflecting light. The crystals improve shelf life by reducing absorption of light by the herbage. The weight sum of the combined coatings are in a particular ratio to the herbage. This ratio is between 1:4 and 2:1 on a weight to weight basis to cause the herbage to sparkle, to improve shelf life, and to enable grinding without sticking.

An aerosol-generating system may include a cartridge, a heater section, and an aerosol-generating device. The cartridge may include a cartridge housing, a solid aerosol-forming substrate positioned within the cartridge housing, and a liquid aerosol-forming substrate positioned within the cartridge housing. The heater section is separate from the cartridge and includes an electric heater. The aerosol-generating device may include a device housing configured to receive the cartridge and a power supply for supplying electrical power to the electric heater. The power supply may be positioned within the device housing.
