Definitions

• the flavoured portion may be activated by the aerosol generated by the smoking substitute apparatus passing through the flavoured portion.
• the flavoured portion may be arranged to release flavourant in response to an aerosol passing through the flavoured portion. In this manner, the flavoured portion may only deliver flavour when a user inhales an aerosol from the smoking substitute apparatus through the flavoured portion of the sticker.
• the main body and the consumable may be configured to be physically coupled together.
• the consumable may be at least partially received in a recess of the main body, such that there is an interference fit between the main body and the consumable.
• the main body and the consumable may be physically coupled together by screwing one onto the other, or through a bayonet fitting.
• the method may include the step of removing the removable protective outer layer.
• Figure 1 C is a section view of a consumable of the smoking substitute system of Figure 1A, according to an embodiment of the invention.
• Figure 1 D is a front view of the consumable of Figure 1 C;
• the consumable 103 is configured to engage the main body 102.
• Figure 1A shows the main body 102 and the consumable 103 in an engaged state
• Figure 1 B shows the main body 102 and the consumable 103 in a disengaged state.
• a portion of the consumable 103 is received in a cavity of the main body 102 and is retained in the engaged position by way of a snap-engagement mechanism.
• the main body 102 and consumable 103 may be engaged by screwing one into (or onto) the other, through a bayonet fitting, or by way of an interference fit.
• the user may remove the sticker 120 and replace it with a new sticker 120.
• the sticker 120 may be configured to last for a certain amount of time, e.g. for a predetermined number of puffs, or for a predetermined amount of time in the user’s mouth. Different stickers may be provided, each having a different flavour. In this manner, a user may select a desired flavour by affixing a sticker having the desired flavour to the mouthpiece 109.
• the adhesive material forming the adhesive portion 202 may be any suitable pressure-activated adhesive. In this manner, when the sticker 200 is pressed against an outer surface of the mouthpiece, the adhesive material causes the sticker 200 to adhere to the mouthpiece.
• a backing layer (not shown) may be provided to protect the adhesive portion 202 prior to use. Then, when a user wishes to apply the sticker to a mouthpiece, the user may remove the backing layer to expose the adhesive portion 202, so that the sticker may be adhered to the mouthpiece.
• the backing layer may, for example be made of paper, vinyl, or some other suitable material.
• flavourant of the flavourant layer 208 may be arranged to produce a taste sensation when the user’s tongue comes into contact with the flavourant layer. Additionally or alternatively, the flavourant may be arranged to be entrained by a flow of aerosol from the mouthpiece into the user’s mouth, to deliver flavour to the user.
• the flavourant may include a volatile liquid and/or flavourant particles which may be entrained by a flow of aerosol through the central portion 206 of the substrate 204.
