Abstract: Described is an aerosol provision system for generating aerosol from an aerosol precursor material, the system comprising a consumable part for generating aerosol that is to be provided to a user of the aerosol provision system; a reusable part configured to enable generation of aerosol from an aerosol precursor; control circuitry configured to monitor usage of the aerosol provision system; and an alert unit configured to output an alert signal, wherein the control circuitry is configured to determine when a predetermined usage condition has been met, and in response to determining that the predetermined usage condition has been met, to cause the alert unit to output an alert signal, wherein the alert unit is configured to cease output of the alert signal in response to a user input. Also described is a method of generating an alert signal for use with an aerosol provision system.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein include a method of making a tobacco extract comprising; (a) contacting tobacco with an extraction solvent at a first temperature and first pressure which are selected such that the extraction solvent is supercritical, such that tobacco flavor and/or aroma components are extracted from the tobacco into the solvent; (b) separating the residual tobacco solids from the supercritical extraction solvent containing tobacco components; (c) exposing the extraction solvent containing tobacco components to conditions in a vessel at which the extraction solvent is subcritical, thereby releasing the tobacco components from the extraction solvent, (d) contacting the residual tobacco solids with an extraction solvent at a second temperature and second pressure which are selected such that the extraction solvent is supercritical, such that nicotine are extracted from the tobacco into the extraction solvent; and wherein the second temperature and/or second pressure is higher than the respective f

Abstract: Embodiments described herein include a method of making a tobacco extract comprising; (a) contacting tobacco with an extraction solvent such that tobacco components are extracted from the tobacco into the solvent, wherein the extraction solvent comprises a supercritical fluid; (b) separating residual tobacco solids from the extraction solvent containing tobacco components; (c) providing an entrapment solvent in a vessel, exposing the extraction solvent containing tobacco components to conditions in that vessel, wherein the conditions in the vessel are such that the extraction solvent is subcritical, thereby releasing the tobacco components from the extraction solvent, and wherein the entrapment solvent dissolves the tobacco components released from the extraction solvent.
