Abstract: A flavorant-carrying adsorbent particle comprising an adsorbent core particle having a BET specific surface area of 700 m2/g or greater, and a flavor-generating medium carried on the surface of the adsorbent core particle and including a flavorant and a flavorant-holding material holding the flavorant, wherein the flavorant-holding material is present in an amount of 5 to 20% with respect to a total weight of the flavorant-carrying adsorbent particle, and the flavorant is present in an amount of 10 to 50% with respect to a weight of the flavorant-holding material.

Abstract: A smoking article includes a monitor monitoring a smoke delivery from a cigarette or a physical quantity correlated with the smoke delivery, a regulating mechanism regulating the smoke delivery, and a control unit controlling the regulating mechanism depending on the smoke delivery.

Abstract: A smoking article includes an aerosol-generating section and a filter section attached to the aerosol-generating section. The filter section contains a plurality of flavor-releasing particles each containing a water-soluble matrix containing a flavor component. The plurality of flavor-releasing particles has respective particle diameters ranging from 1 to 100 ?m and has an average particle diameter of 20 ?m or less.

Abstract: A non-combustion type flavor suction article includes a capsule enclosing a liquid flavor in a shell, leak-protection members sandwiching the capsule, a wrapping material made of a flavor-impermeable and heat-conducting material and wrapped around the capsule and the leak-protection members, and a mouthpiece connected to an end of the wrapping material.

Abstract: A non-combustion flavor inhalation article includes a heating device including a heater to be heated to a temperature between 80 and 140° C., and a roll including a tobacco sheet to be disposed in contact with the heater.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a smoking appliance which can heat a filter medium for eliminating particulate phase components in tobacco smoke to a desired temperature precisely as well as can ensure safety for the smoker. According to the present invention, there is provided a smoking appliance including a holder having a through hole serving as a smoke passage, which detachably holds a filter medium in a middle of the smoke passage, a heater attached to the holder at a location upstream to the filter medium, a heat insulator attached to the holder at a location upstream to the heater, and a metal plate which covers surfaces of the heater facing the filter medium and the smoke passage.

Abstract: A method for producing a non-combustion type tobacco sheet includes contacting a tobacco raw material with water to separate them into an aqueous extract and an insoluble tobacco residue, selectively reducing anions contained in the aqueous extract to provide a low-anion liquid, adding an acid to the low-anion liquid to provide a neutralized liquid, and blending pulp to the insoluble tobacco residue to prepare a mixture from which a sheet is made, followed by adding the neutralized liquid to the sheet to provide a tobacco sheet.

Abstract: A non-heating tobacco flavor suction device (1) comprises a suction holder (2) with a suction path defined inside and a filler (8) arranged in the suction path. The filler (8) is formed of tobacco particles. The suction path and the filler (8) arranged therein provide a ventilation resistance of between about 40 and about 80 mmAq in cooperation with each other.

Abstract: The present invention provides a soundproof cover comprising: a sound-absorbing material having air permeability; and a skin material impregnated with a viscoelastic material and having air permeability, wherein the skin material is provided on a surface of the sound-absorbing material opposite to a sound source, and wherein the soundproof cover has a three-dimensional shape corresponding to an outer shape of the sound source.
