There is provided a flavour system for use in a tobacco industry product. The flavour system comprises lyophilised botanical material, an activator capable of releasing flavourant from the lyophilised botanical material through contact of the activator with the lyophilised botanical material, and a removable barrier preventing contact between the lyophilised botanical material and the activator. The barrier is removable to permit the activator to contact the lyophilised botanical material, thereby to cause release of the flavourant.

The present disclosure relates to a non-combustible aerosol provision system comprising an aerosol modifying component, an aerosol generating material and a heater which, in use, is operable to heat the aerosol generating material such that the aerosol generating material provides an aerosol. The aerosol modifying component is downstream of the aerosol generating material and comprises first and second capsules. The first capsule is in a first portion of the aerosol modifying component, wherein the first portion of the aerosol modifying component is heated to a first temperature during operation of the heater to generate the aerosol. The second capsule is in a second portion of the aerosol modifying component located downstream of the first portion, wherein the second portion is heated to a second temperature during operation of the heater to generate aerosol, and wherein the second temperature is at least 4 degrees Celsius lower than the first temperature.

An article for use in a non-combustible aerosol provision system. The article comprising a mouthpiece comprising a body of material. The body comprises amorphous solid material. Also disclosed is a system comprising such an article and a non-combustible aerosol provision device for heating the aerosol generating material of the article, and a method of manufacturing such an article.

An embodiment of the present disclosure, may provide an aerosol generating device which may include a first heater for heating a cigarette inserted into a first portion of the aerosol generating device; a second heater for heating a liquid composition stored in a cartridge detachably attached to a second portion of the aerosol generating device; and a controller for controlling power supplied to the first heater and the second heater, wherein the controller may control the power supplied to the second heater based on a heating pattern by which the first heater is heated.

A mouthpiece for a smoking device is provided. The mouthpiece comprises a porous substrate. The porous surface comprises a wall having an outer surface having an outer cross-sectional shape and an inner surface having an inner cross-sectional shape. The inner surface defines a hollow interior space. A wall thickness is defined by the outer and inner surfaces. The porous substrate has a specific hardness of at least about 1.5 hardness % per weight (g) per length (mm) of the porous substrate. The porous substrate has a porosity of about 50% to about 70%. The inner and outer surfaces provide a wall thickness of about 20% to 60% of an area defined by the outer cross-sectional shape.

A flavor delivery article is provided including a substantially rod-shaped carrier element and a wrapping element. The wrapping element surrounds at least a portion of the carrier element. The delivery article includes a flavor material within one or both of the carrier element and the wrapping element. The flavor delivery article is adapted for delivery of the flavor material to the mouth of a user under mouth conditions in the absence of combustion or other external heating.

A tobacco composition including tobacco material and an aerosol former material. The tobacco material includes a leaf tobacco having sugars and nicotine in a weight ratio of between about 8:1 and about 20:1, wherein said leaf tobacco having sugars and nicotine in a weight ratio of between about 8:1 and about 20:1 is present in the tobacco material in an amount of at least 5% by weight of the tobacco material.

The present disclosure relates to an article (1) for use in a non-combustible aerosol provision system, the article comprising: an aerosol generating material (3), and a downstream portion (6) located downstream of the aerosol generating material, wherein the downstream portion comprises a body of material having a volume of at least 115 mm3 and wherein said body of material comprises cellulose. The present disclosure also relates to an article for use in aerosol provision system, the article comprising: an aerosol generating material, and a downstream portion located downstream of the aerosol generating material, wherein the downstream portion N comprises a body of material and a tubular element (20) located within the body of material, the tubular element comprising a cavity. The present disclosure also relates to an article for use in aerosol provision system, the article comprising: an aerosol generating material, and a downstream portion located downstream of the aerosol generating material, wherein the downstream portion comprises a body of material comprising cellulose, and wherein the downstream portion further comprises at least one aerosol modifying agent release component incorporated within the body of material.

Cigarettes are provided which contain a filtering system and flavorants encapsulated with polyvinyl acetate, wherein deactivation of a sorbent by the flavorant is reduced through the encapsulation of the flavorant within the polyvinyl acetate. A preferred flavorant is menthol. The encapsulated flavorants are prepared by mixing at least one flavorant with polyvinyl acetate and a solvent, such as ethanol, and forming the encapsulated flavorants. Methods of making cigarettes and smoking the articles are also provided.

An article for use in a non-combustible aerosol provision system includes a first aerosol generating material and a component downstream of the first aerosol generating material, wherein the component comprises a tubular portion and wherein the tubular portion comprises a wall comprising a second aerosol generating material. An article is also described including a first aerosol generating material, and a component downstream of the first aerosol generating material, wherein the component comprises a body of material and wherein the body of material comprises a second aerosol generating material. Methods for forming an article and a system are also described.
