Abstract
Disclosed is a smokeless cigarette system comprising a reusable cigarette tube and a nicotine stick which can be discarded after use. The nicotine stick comprises a depot filter charged with a nanobead solution and nicotine and flavor substances attached thereto or incorporated therein, and a mouthpiece filter, which are joined together and produced at the factory stage. The disclosed smokeless cigarette is particularly suited for use in non-smoking areas to prevent stress caused by nicotine withdrawal and as a cigarette substitute, but can also be used in different types of cigarettes with varied dosage strengths to ensure gentle nicotine withdrawal and smoke disintoxication. Neither the environment nor other persons are harmed of put at risk by this system by either passive smoking or the generation of odour. The system can be handled in a simple and unproblematic manner since no heat source or heating systems are required.
Claims
1. A smokeless cigarette comprising a depot filter with a defined dimensioned bore, and a mouthpiece filter with a bore of a defined shape to support the depot filter, and a volatilization aid and a mineral nano-bead solution located in the depot filter, wherein: said mineral nano-bead solution comprises mineral nano-beads to which nicotine and flavor substances are attached, and the mineral nano-beads are selected from a group consisting of aluminum silicates and silicone oxides, and the volatilization aid is selected from a group consisting of ethanol and grape seed oil, and the smokeless cigarette is free of a heating devices or an electrical charging device.
2. The smokeless cigarette according to claim 1, wherein the depot filter inserted or stuck into the mouthpiece filter in such a way that the depot filter and the mouthpiece filter are pressed together with one another, so as to form a nicotine stick.
3. The smokeless cigarette according to claim 1, wherein the mouthpiece filter is inserted or stuck into the depot filter to form a nicotine stick, and the smokeless cigarette further comprises a reusable cigarette tube, into which the nicotine stick is inserted or jammed.
4. The smokeless cigarette according to claim 1, wherein the dimensioned bore configured to the draw resistance of a normal tobacco cigarette.
