  • Publication number: 20220117290
    Abstract: A non-combustible cigarette based on flocking technology and a manufacturing method of the cigarette are disclosed. The cigarette includes a cigarette paper layer, which is a hollow cylindrical structure. The inner wall of the cigarette paper layer is provided with an adhesive layer, and tobacco filler granules, tobacco filler filaments or tobacco filler fibers are fixedly bonded on the adhesive layer. The manufacturing method includes a flocking process and a cigarette-rolling process. The process automatically flocks filamentous, fibrous or granular tobacco to the surface of the cigarette paper, and then connects to the cigarette-rolling process to obtain the non-combustible cigarette. When the cigarette is filled with the tobacco filler granules, the complex process of using a plugging device at the open end of the cigarette is eliminated.

  • Publication number: 20160242465
    Abstract: This invention relates to an electric-heating smoking article comprising an igniting activator, the electric-heating smoking article comprising a mouthpiece 20 on its one end, and the igniting activator 10 on its other end, wherein the igniting activator 10 comprises at least one temperature measurement element 1 and a heat conductor 2 contacting with the temperature measurement element 1, wherein the temperature measurement element 1 is connected to a positive wire terminal of a heating element 5 and a negative wire terminal of a power supply 6. When the heat conductor 2 is heated to a temperature above a specified value, the smoking article activates the heating element to heat, enabling consumers to get used to novel electric-heating cigarettes without changing their traditional smoke behaviors while keeping the igniting manner unchanged. This invention also discloses an igniting activation method of an electric-heating smoking article.
