  • the filter 124 comprises a first section 126 at the mouth end of the filter 124, rather than at the tobacco end of the filter, comprising absorbent material 127 and a capsule 128 disposed in an axial region thereof, the axial region being as defined in relation to the first filter section 6 of the smoking article 1 described above.
  • the first section 126 is wrapped in a first plug wrap 129.
  • the capsule 128 contains an additive capable of modifying mainstream smoke passing through the filter 124, in the present case menthol flavourant.
  • the filter 124 further comprises a second section 130 at the tobacco rod end of the filter 124 rather than at the mouth end of the filter 124 comprising fibrous filter material 131 formed into a tubular shape and having a channel 132 extending through the centre of the filter material 131, or through an axial region thereof, similar to the second section 10 of the filter 4 of Figure 1.
  • the tubular filter section is formed from cellulose acetate tow and is wrapped in a second plug wrap 133.
  • the first segment 126 is a cellulose acetate segment formed using continuous cellulose acetate fibres and a plasticiser.
  • the capsule 128 can be inserted into the filter material during formation of the filter section 126 using existing processes and machinery.
  • the capsule 128 is located within a portion of the first filter section 126 closer to the upstream end of the first filter section 126, or to the second filter section 130, than to the downstream end of the first filter section 126, or to the mouth end of the smoking article 121.
  • the distance 'd' between the centre of the capsule 128 and the upstream end of the first filter section 126 is approximately 30% of the total longitudinal length of the first filter section 126.
  • the capsule 128 can be located longitudinally centrally within the first filter section 126 or closer to the downstream end of the first filter section 126 than to the upstream end.

  • a greater flow of mainstream smoke is directed, as a result of the second filter section 130, through the axial region of the first filter section 126 in which the contents of the capsule 128 have been released. Accordingly, when the smoking article is smoked, the increased flow of mainstream smoke enhances the delivery of the smoke modifying additive to the consumer and the smoking article 121 can therefore exhibit improved delivery of a smoke modifying additive to a consumer than convention smoking articles.
  • the second filter section has been described above as a tubular portion of fibrous filter material, this may take other forms, such as filter material sections with lower density regions extending through an axial region thereof.
  • the tubular section or other section having reduced density in an axial region has been described as being at the mouth-end of the filter in some embodiments above, but in any of the embodiments can alternatively be used as a central or upstream end of multipart filters, for instance upstream of the section in which the smoke modifying additive is located, while still benefiting from the effect of the invention.
  • the presence of such a filter section can encourage mainstream smoke to be directed to an axial region of a smoking article both upstream and downstream of the region, due to the lower resistance to draw coinciding with the axial region.
  • the first, second and (where present) third filter sections described above are discrete segments. Although the first, second and (where present) third filter sections described above are connected together using tipping material, they are individually separate and distinct following their formation and prior to being connected together.
  • the tipping material also connects the filter sections to the respective tobacco rod of each embodiment.
  • a further plug wrap can be used to connect the first, second and (where present) third discrete filter sections before they are connected to the tobacco rods using the tipping material.
