14. A smoking article comprising a smoke-enhancing filter rod, constituted of one segment of filtering zone embedded with smoke-enhancing plant flavour particles according to claims 1 to 12 and of one segment of regular filter material, continuously connected to a tobacco rod.
15. The smoking article according to claim 14, wherein said segment of regular filter material is located at mouth-end.
16. A smoking article comprising a smoke-enhancing filter rod, constituted of a combination of segments of filtering zone embedded with smoke-enhancing plant flavour particles according to claims 1 to 12 in alternation with segments of filter material embedded or not with other particles, continuously connected to a tobacco rod.
17. The smoking article according to claim 16, wherein said other particles are selected from charcoal, resin and plant particles.
18. The smoking article according to claim 16 or 17, wherein said combination of segments of smoke-enhancing filter rod and segments of filter material consists of an association in alternation of three, four or five segments.
19. The smoking article according to claim 17, wherein said segment located at mouth-end is a segment of regular filter material.
20. A smoking article comprising a smoke-enhancing filter rod, constituted of one segment of filtering zone containing a cavity filled with smoke-enhancing plant flavour particles according to claim 1 to 12, continuously connected to a tobacco rod.
