  • the strips 28 can be brought into a shape by crimping, in which the tobacco sheet after rolling forms a more homogeneous cross-sectional distribution, approximating to a chaotic distribution, in the shape-fixed tobacco segment 4, which is advantageous in that a mere rolling always has a although very small cavity in the middle of the tobacco segment 4 has the result, which can be avoided by the crimped shape of the strip 28. Further, the crimped prong shape of the strips 28 favors the rolling process in transverse to the longitudinal direction duri Fenden fold lines. Instead of the tobacco foil, it would also be conceivable to cut a different carrier material, for example with applied flavorings or ethereal substances, into the strips 28 and process them further in accordance with the above description of the tobacco segments 4.
  • tobacco segment 4" can thus also be understood as the flavor-promoting segment.
  • loose tobacco fibers can be used, which are then processed in a preprocessing step to the shape-fixed tobacco segment 4 by being formed into a strand, fixed by means of a wrapping strip and then cut by means of a cutter into tobacco segments 4 of predetermined length. Examples of a possible further processing of the strips 28 of the tobacco foil can be seen in the middle representations of FIG. The simplest form of finishing is to roll the strips 28 manually to a cylindrical tobacco segment 4, as can be seen in the left-hand illustration of the middle row of the figures. If this is necessary, the rolled strip 28 can then additionally be stripped by a wrapping or even be fixed in the rolled state to the shape-fixed tobacco segment 4 by gluing an adhesive seam arranged on the strip 28.
  • the strips 28 may also be rolled by means of the manufacturing device 27 to finished Tabakseg elements 4 or crimped to the serrated shape, the further processing of the strip 28 with the manufacturing device 27 although an increased effort, but it leads to higher quality tobacco segments 4.
  • the tobacco segments 4 can also be prefabricated in larger quantities packed by the consumer. Furthermore, the tobacco segments 4 can also have a connecting element 5 in the form of an attached tubular body 11 or a cavity 6 extending into the tobacco segment 4 into which a heating segment 3 can be inserted. In this case, the heating segment 3, which is introduced into the cavity 6, have an energy source and be designed to be reusable. The tobacco segment 4 can thus be angese hen as a single-use module carrier 12 for the heating segment 3.
  • the manufacturing device 27 may also be formed in a further development so that the finished manufactured tobacco segments 4 are still fixed to the manufacturing device after production, so that a module carrier 12 with the heating segment 3 according to the embodiment form of the figure 1 on the tobacco segment 4th can be deferred.
  • the manufacture of the HNB smoking article 1 can also be facilitated by the use of a stuffing box 29 by first inserting the tobacco segment 4 through the opening 13 into the cavity 6 and then with the pusher 29 to its intended position in the cavity Cavity 6 of the module carrier 12 is inserted.
  • the invention opens up the advantage that the segments 2 in total or only certain segments 2 can be inexpensively manufactured in large numbers in a strand production process and then connected to one another by the consumer or in a subsequent manufacturing device with the aid of the connecting element 5.
  • the manufacturing costs for an HNB smoking article 1 can be significantly reduced, which in turn reduces the price of an HNB smoking article 1 and acceptance can be improved by the consumer.
  • the consumer can equip the HNB smoking article 1 individually with his taste and needs with segments 2 of different function and type.
