  • Patent number: 11779052
    Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment, a heat-not-burn tobacco aerosolization device aerosolizes a high viscosity, wet tobacco product at a very low temperature and reduces harmful and potentially harmful carcinogen (HPHC) emissions by six times or more relative to conventional heat-not-burn products while also providing substantially improved taste and user experience. Embodiments exemplified herein provide a compelling and healthier substitute for cigarette smoking that avoids the HPHC emissions of conventional heat-not-burn products while also avoiding the increased risk of addiction and short-term health effects reported in connection with conventional vaping devices.

  • Patent number: 9408417
    Abstract: A method and a system for preparing a tobacco extract for use in an electronic smoking device are provided. A tobacco extract and an electronic smoking device are also provided. The method includes grinding tobacco into granulated particles, and heating purified water. The method further includes injecting the heated purified water through the granulated particles of the tobacco for a predetermined period of time to produce an aqueous solution, and adding purified water to the aqueous solution. Further, the method includes heating the aqueous solution, and injecting the heated aqueous solution through ground tobacco for the predetermined period of time to produce a tobacco extract for use in the electronic smoking device.
