Abstract: A look-alike substitute for a cigarette, from which a smokeless aroma of burning tobacco or other fragrances can be inhaled and a smoke-simulating aromatized powder can be emitted out, comprises a first chamber lined with a scratch-releasable, flavor-coated insert and a second chamber filled with micrometric powder. The release of the aroma is triggered by scratching the insert with a built-in wire brush. The aromatic compound is preferably deposited on the inner surface of a replaceable hollow tube. A number of different flavored tubes are provided as part of a kit. A specially designed tip gives the appearance of glowing embers.

Abstract: A look-alike substitute for a cigarette, from which a smokeless aroma of burning tobacco or other fragrances can be inhaled and a smoke-simulating aromatized powder can be blown out, comprises a first chamber lined with a scratch-releasable, flavor-coated paper and a second chamber filled with micrometric powder. Directionally opposite check-valves in the inlet or outlet port of the respective chambers prevent inhalation of the powder. The release of the aroma is triggered by scratching the paper with a wire brush. The flavor-holding compound is laid in helicoidal or parallel beads in order to increase the aromatized surface area. The powder is held between the threads of an axially helicoidal spline spanning the second chamber.
