A waterpipe allows the user to consume aerosols and flavorings present in the fluid. A problem with known waterpipes is that the fluid suffers decomposition or combustion because of substantial heat. Moreover, aerosols and flavorings are no longer sufficiently released. An object of the invention, therefore, is to enable uniform and complete release of the aerosols and flavorings. This object is achieved by means of a waterpipe tobacco substitute which comprises at least one closed-pore carrier for the fluid. ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 -8. (canceled) ### Claim 9 A waterpipe tobacco substitute comprising: a fluid suitable for releasing an aerosol and/or a flavoring to hot air when exposed to the hot air; and at least one carrier; wherein the fluid attaches adhesively to the at least one carrier, and wherein the at least one carrier is not open-pore in configuration. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The waterpipe tobacco substitute according to claim 9, further comprising a plurality of the carrier, the carriers forming grains of a granular composition. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The waterpipe tobacco substitute according to claim 9, wherein a surface of the at least one carrier exhibits structuring. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The waterpipe tobacco substitute according to claim 9, wherein the at least one carrier comprises at least partly an inorganic substance. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The waterpipe tobacco substitute according to claim 12, wherein the inorganic substance is a mineral. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The waterpipe tobacco substitute according to claim 13, wherein the mineral is quartz, feldspar, or glass. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The waterpipe tobacco substitute according to claim 9, wherein the fluid comprises glycerol and/or 1,2-propanediol and/or a flavoring agent. ### Claim 16 A method of smoking comprising: providing a waterpipe tobacco substitute comprising: a fluid suitable for releasing an aerosol and/or a flavoring to hot air when exposed to the hot air; and at least one carrier; wherein the fluid attaches adhesively to the at least one carrier, and wherein the at least one carrier is not open-pore in configuration; and exposing the waterpipe tobacco substitute to hot air. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method according to claim 16, wherein the waterpipe tobacco substitute further comprises a plurality of the carrier, the carriers forming grains of a granular composition. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The method according to claim 16, wherein the at least one carrier of the waterpipe tobacco substitute has a surface that exhibits structuring. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The method according to claim 16, wherein the at least one carrier of the waterpipe tobacco substitute comprises at least partly an inorganic substance. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method according to claim 19, wherein the inorganic substance is a mineral. ### Claim 21 (depends on 20) The method according to claim 20, wherein the mineral is quartz, feldspar, or glass. ### Claim 22 (depends on 21) The method according to claim 21, wherein the fluid comprises glycerol and/or 1,2-propanediol and/or a flavoring agent. ### Claim 23 A waterpipe comprising a waterpipe tobacco substitute comprising: a fluid suitable for releasing an aerosol and/or a flavoring to hot air when exposed to the hot air; and at least one carrier; wherein the fluid attaches adhesively to the at least one carrier, and wherein the at least one carrier is not open-pore in configuration. ### Claim 24 (depends on 23) The waterpipe according to claim 23, wherein the waterpipe tobacco substitute further comprises a plurality of the carrier, the carriers forming grains of a granular composition. ### Claim 25 (depends on 23) The waterpipe according to claim 23, wherein a surface of the at least one carrier exhibits structuring. ### Claim 26 (depends on 23) The waterpipe according to claim 23, wherein the at least one carrier comprises at least partly an inorganic substance. ### Claim 27 (depends on 26) The waterpipe according to claim 26, wherein the inorganic substance is a mineral. ### Claim 28 (depends on 27) The waterpipe according to claim 27, wherein the mineral is quartz, feldspar, or glass. ### Claim 29 (depends on 23) The waterpipe according to claim 23, wherein the fluid comprises glycerol and/or 1,2-propanediol and/or a flavoring agent.
