Definitions

  • This invention relates to a smoking article.
  • the present invention provides a smoking article comprising a distal end which, in use, contains a smoke producing substance, a proximal end from which the smoke is drawn during smoking, and at least one channel which runs from the proximal end to at least partway towards the distal end. At least one vent hole is arranged such that an airflow path is defined through the vent hole, via the channel, and to the proximal end of the smoking article.
  • a smoke supplement composition is housed along this airflow path, such that, when the smoking article is smoked, air is drawn along the airflow path and over the composition so that the composition becomes airborne and is delivered to the smoker.
  • An airflow path along the at least one channel is defined from at least one vent hole, typically positioned on an outside face of the smoking article, through the channel to the proximal end of the smoking article.
  • the cross-section of the at least one channel is between 0.1 and 50% of the cross-section of the smoking article, preferably between 0.1 and 30% and more preferably between 5 and 20%.
  • a smoke supplement composition eg those comprising glycerol
  • Some formulations of a smoke supplement composition may require some heat to aid their transfer into the airstream, and this may be accomplished by providing the smoke producing substance as a hollow rod, and/or providing a filter having a high pressure drop core, such that the heated smoke stream passes in close proximity to the smoke supplement composition which is at the perimeter of the filter.
  • the airflow path may additionally comprise a cavity which, in use, stores the smoke supplement composition.
  • the smoke supplement composition is stored within the at least one channel.
  • the smoke supplement composition is placed into the cavity/channel by any known means either before, after or during manufacture, such as by injection, pasting, printing or depositing.
  • any of the one or more substances, and/or any nicotine or nicotine derivative can be encapsulated or micro encapsulated, typically prior to being introduced into the smoke supplement composition.
  • Suitable encapsulation or micro encapsulation materials include starch, gum acacia, glycerol, gelatine, albumin or cyclodextrin. Encapsulation or micro encapsulation can be used as a method to contain volatile compounds.
  • FIG 2 shows a conventional cigarette with a compound filter containing an adsorbent.
  • the compound filter comprises a cellulose acetate segment 22 at the cigarette's proximal end 11 and an adsorbent containing segment 22' adjoining the distal end of the cellulose acetate segment 22.
  • the cigarette is as depicted in Figure 1.
