  • Publication number: 20140318562
    Abstract: A smoking article (10, 30, 40, 50, 70) with variable ventilation comprises a mouthpiece (12) circumscribed by a first wrapper (24) and a second wrapper (25). The first wrapper (24) and the second wrapper (25) are substantially air impermeable and are movable relative to one another between a low ventilation configuration and a high ventilation configuration. The mouthpiece (12) comprises a first airflow pathway (18, 19) through the first wrapper (24) or the second wrapper (25) and a second airflow pathway (26) through the first wrapper (24) or the second wrapper (25). In the low ventilation configuration airflow into the mouthpiece (12) through the first airflow pathway (18, 19) is restricted and airflow into the mouthpiece (12) through the second airflow pathway (26) is substantially unrestricted. In the high ventilation configuration airflow into the mouthpiece (12) through the first airflow pathway (18, 19) and the second airflow pathway (26) is substantially unrestricted.

  • Publication number: 20140299142
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a smoking article having a movable vapour release portion to allow the vapour release portion to be isolated from, or exposed to, a smoke pathway. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such smoking articles. In particular, there is provided a smoking article comprising a first segment, a second segment, and an aerosol generating substrate coupled to the first and second segments. At least one of the first and second segments comprises a vapour release portion, whereby the first and second segments are movable relative to each other from a first configuration to a second configuration, whereby in the first configuration the vapour release portion is substantially isolated from an airflow pathway and in the second configuration the vapour release portion is exposed to the airflow pathway.

  • Publication number: 20110232663
    Abstract: A filter cigarette with variable ventilation includes a rod of smokable material, a mouthpiece including an element rotatable relative to the rest of filter cigarette about the longitudinal axis thereof to vary the ventilation of the filter cigarette, and a ventilation indicator including a scale extending circumferentially about the periphery of the filter cigarette and a cursor. The scale is symmetric about the longitudinal axis of the filter cigarette and the cursor and the scale are rotatable relative to one another about the longitudinal axis of the filter cigarette. One of the cursor and the scale rotate with the rotatable element of the mouthpiece, the level of ventilation being indicated by the longitudinal distance between the cursor and a longitudinally aligned point on the scale.
