  • Publication number: 20220031978
    Abstract: There is provided an aerosol generating device, comprising an inhalation outlet; a chamber for holding a material, the material capable of generating a vapour when heated; a heater for heating material held in the chamber; an air inlet connected by an air inlet passage to the chamber; a vapour-cooling module providing a fluidic connection between the chamber and inhalation outlet, the module configured to cool a vapour passing there through. In use, suction at the inhalation outlet causes air to enter the chamber via the air inlet, thereby transporting the vapour generated in the chamber through the vapour-cooling module to the inhalation outlet, such that the temperature of the vapour exiting the device through the inhalation outlet is substantially lower than the temperature of the vapour generated in the chamber. The aerosol generating device thereby provides a means whereby a vapour generated in the chamber is substantially cooled during transport from the chamber through the mouthpiece to the user.

  • Patent number: 9750280
    Abstract: Disclosed is a pH-stabilized oral tobacco composition comprising a buffer of at least two pH stabilizing substances comprising potassium carbonate and at least one additional pH stabilizing substance that can maintain a low total drop in pH-value over prolonged time at ambient as well as refrigerated temperature, so that the freshness and shelf life of the oral tobacco composition can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20160368677
    Abstract: A container for a tobacco product having a base and a lid, the lid comprises an outer skirt and a first abutment projection. The abutment projection runs circumferentially on an inside surface of the lid, adjacent to the outer skirt. The base comprises a side wall configured to contact an outward-facing surface of the first abutment projection during closure of the lid, such that the side wall is outwardly deflected and contacts an inside surface of the outer skirt of the lid, sealing the container when the lid is closed.
