  • the amount of nicotine sucked by the user is greatly changed along with the increase of puffing number.
  • the user therefore not only is aware of an uncomfortable feeling during the use of the tobacco product but also has the impression that the estimated usable period of the tobacco product (the puff number) is shorter (less) than anticipated.
  • the invention has been made in light of the foregoing circumstances. It is an object of the invention to provide a non-combustion suction type tobacco product in which a delivery amount of nicotine that is one of ingredients specific to tobacco is stabilized for long periods, and the puff number sufficient to satisfy the user is greatly increased.
  • the above object is accomplished by a non-combustion suction type tobacco product of the present invention.

  • the stabilizer has a characteristic where solubility parameter distance with respect to nicotine is 17 or less and vapor pressure at a temperature of 25 degrees centigrade is 1 mmHg or less.
  • the stabilizer Because of its high nicotine solubility and low vapor pressure, the stabilizer stably maintains nicotine and stabilizes the amount of nicotine delivered to the user for long periods.
  • the stabilizer is selected from among compounds containing propylene glycol, benzyl alcohol or an ester group.
  • the compounds are selected from among medium-chain triglyceride, triester citrate (triethyl citrate, tributyl citrate, etc.), benzyl benzoate, and ethyl laurate.

  • the solubility parameter distance Ra of the glycerin A is as large as 23.0 although the stabilizers B to H have a solubility parameter distance Ra of 17 or less, and a vapor pressure of 1 mmHg or less at a temperature of 25 degrees centigrade.
  • the tobacco product containing the stabilizer F is lower in the nicotine delivery amount than the tobacco product of the comparative example 1, regardless of the puff number.

  • the tobacco product containing the stabilizer F can deliver nicotine as well as the tobacco products of the other embodiments do. This will be clarified by descriptions below which explain measurement results shown in FIG. 5 .
  • the nicotine delivery amount tends to increase in proportion to the increase of puff number. If such a tendency gives an uncomfortable feeling to the user and is therefore undesirable to the user, it can be considered that, as to a stabilizer like the stabilizer F which has a 12 or less solubility parameter distance Ra, its vapor pressure at a temperature of 25 degrees centigrade is too high. On this account, it is preferable to select a stabilizer that has a vapor pressure of 0.1 mmHg or less at a temperature of 25 degrees centigrade.
  • the nicotine delivery amount is decreased and shows only a little change over a long period of time.
  • the contents of the stabilizers B to H may be set in a range of from 5 to 20 percent by weight. If the content is less than 5 percent by weight, a desired stabilization effect is not achieved with respect to the nicotine delivery amount. If the content is over 20 percent by weight, the stabilizer causes lumping of the tobacco particles 20 , making it difficult to handle, namely fabricate, the tobacco particles 20 .
  • the tobacco product containing the stabilizer F is expected to be able to generate as much nicotine delivery amount as the tobacco products containing the stabilizers B to E, G and H do.
  • the non-combustion suction type tobacco product may further include a heat source for heating the tobacco particles 20 .
