Provided herein are a sidestream smoke removal device and a control method thereof. The sidestream smoke removal device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure includes a housing in which a smoking space is formed, an ignition portion which is configured to ignite the smoking article inserted into the smoking space, a sidestream smoke processing portion which is configured to process sidestream smoke generated from the smoking article inserted into the smoking space, a temperature sensor which is configured to measure the temperature of the smoking article inserted into the smoking space, a display which is disposed on an outside of the housing, and a controller which is configured to monitor smoking progress with respect to the smoking article on the basis of the measured temperature and display a monitoring result through the display. The sidestream smoke removal device can visually provide a series of information related to smoking progress to a user, and accordingly, ease of use and safety may be significantly improved.

A smoking article is formed from two component parts. These parts are a rod comprising an aerosol-forming substrate and a removable cap. The removable cap can be coupled to the rod in two configurations. In a first configuration, the removable cap is coupled to a first end of the rod and a heat source located at or near a second end of the rod heats the aerosol-forming substrate to generate an inhalable aerosol. In a second configuration, the removable cap is coupled to the second end of the rod and at least substantially covers the heat source. The smoking article is arranged in the second configuration for disposal.

A package for a smoking article is provided, including a base layer and an elongate recess each having first and second ends; a cover layer having first and second ends and overlying the elongate recess, the cover layer and the elongate recess together defining a cavity configured to receive the smoking article. Each of the first end of the elongate recess and the first end of the cover layer includes a thermally insulating portion. A maximum width of the first end of the cavity between the base layer and the cover layer is greater than a corresponding maximum width of the second end of the cavity. The cover layer is moveable between an open position in which the smoking article can be removed from the cavity and reinserted, and a closed position in which the cover layer can substantially seal and extinguish the smoking article within the cavity.

A device for use while smoking includes a sleeve defining an opening on a first end. The opening is contiguous with a recess defined therein. The recess is configured for slideably receiving a smoking accessory therein. An extinguisher is positioned on a second end. The extinguisher defines a resilient seal that is configured for being received above a smoking substance that is under flame to extinguish the smoking substance. The device has a first mode of operation in which stowage of a smoking accessory is received within the sleeve, a second mode of operation in which the device is engaged with a proximal surface by engagement of the resilient seal with the proximal surface, and a third mode of operation in which the extinguisher carried by the sleeve is used to extinguish a flame.
