A non-tobacco oral nicotine pouch composition is provided, including water in an amount of at least 15% by weight of the pouch composition; nicotine; and at least one sugar alcohol, the pouch composition being free of humectants consisting of alginate, propylene glycol, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and glycerol. An oral pouched nicotine product is also provided, including a saliva-permeable pouch and the non-tobacco oral nicotine pouch composition enclosed in the saliva-permeable pouch.

The disclosure provides compositions configured for oral use, the compositions including at least one filler, water, a basic amine, and an organic acid, an alkali metal salt of an organic acid, or a combination thereof, wherein the organic acid has a log P value of from about 1.4 to about 8.0. At least a portion of the basic amine is associated with at least a portion of the organic acid or the alkali metal salt thereof. The association is in the form of a basic amine-organic acid salt, an ion pair between the basic amine and a conjugate base of the organic acid, or a combination of both. Further provided are methods for stabilizing a composition configured for oral use, for enhancing a predicted buccal absorption of a composition configured for oral use, and for reducing potential throat irritation associated with the use of compositions including a basic amine.

An oral product configured for oral use is provided herein, the oral product including: at least one sugar substitute in an amount from about 25% to about 45% by weight, based on the total weight of the oral product; a gum in an amount from about 35% to about 55% by weight, based on the total weight of the oral product; a basic amine; and an organic acid, an alkali metal salt of an organic acid, or a combination thereof; wherein the organic acid has a log P value of from about 1.0 to about 12.0; wherein at least a portion of the basic amine is associated with at least a portion of the organic acid or the alkali metal salt thereof, the association in the form of a basic amine-organic acid salt, an ion pair between the basic amine and a conjugate base of the organic acid, or both; and wherein the oral product is in the form of a pastille.

Aerosol generating material for inclusion in an aerosol provision system, such as an apparatus for heating aerosol generating material to volatilize at least one component of thereof, the aerosol generating material including an active substance and a volatile component incorporated in liquid form. The invention also relates to methods for preparing such materials and apparatus comprising such materials.

Aerosol generating materials for inclusion in an aerosol provision system, such as an apparatus for heating aerosol generating material to volatilize at least one component of the aerosol generating material, the aerosol generating material including a volatile component in solid particulate form, and an active substance. The invention also relates to methods for preparing such materials and apparatus including such materials

Abnormally-shaped tobacco granules are provided. The tobacco granules comprise a tobacco granule body and a coating attached to the surface of the tobacco granule body. The coating contains an adhesive. The surface of the abnormally-shaped tobacco granule has one or more grooves and/or ridges, and/or, the abnormally-shaped tobacco granule has through holes therein. The surface grooves of the abnormally-shaped tobacco granules can serve as smoke channels after the tobacco granules are bonded, cured and shaped, so that the air permeability inside a total-granule tobacco product is greatly improved. The smoking resistance of cigarettes is reduced. The flammability of cigarettes is improved and the consumption of tobacco raw materials is reduced. A preparation method of the abnormally-shaped tobacco granules, a tobacco product comprising the abnormally-shaped tobacco granules, and a preparation method thereof are also provided.

The disclosure provides compositions and products configured for oral use, the compositions and products including a filler material, an active ingredient, and a salt component. The salt component may be present in an amount of between about 3.0% and about 4.5% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. The compositions and products as described herein may particularly exhibit a desired flavor profile.

The disclosure provides products configured for oral use, the products including one or more agents adapted to or configured to reduce irritation that may be associated with release of a component from the products. Xylitol, in particular, may be useful as an irritation reducing agent. The disclosure further provides methods of reducing irritation associated with the release of one or more components from an oral composition or product.
