Abstract
An aerosol-generating material includes a plurality of strands and/ or strips of a tobacco material and a plurality of strips of amorphous solid material. The plurality of strands and/or strips of tobacco material and the plurality of strips of amorphous solid material each have a length of at least about 5 mm. There is also described an article including the aerosol-generating material, a pack of articles, a consumable for use in an aerosol provision system, a non-combustible aerosol provision system and various methods of producing an aerosol-generating material.
Claims49
An aerosol-generating material comprising a plurality of strands and/or strips of a tobacco material and a plurality of strips of amorphous solid material, wherein the plurality of strands and/or strips of tobacco material and the plurality of strips of amorphous solid material each have a length of at least about 5 mm.
An article comprising an aerosol-generating material, the aerosol-generating material comprising a plurality of strands and/or strips of a tobacco material and a plurality of strips of amorphous solid material, wherein the plurality of strands and/or strips of tobacco material and the plurality of strips of amorphous solid material each have a length of at least about 5 mm.
A pack comprising a plurality of articles, each article comprising an aerosol-generating material, the aerosol-generating material comprising a plurality of strands and/or strips of a tobacco material and a plurality of strips of amorphous solid material, wherein the plurality of strands and/or strips of tobacco material and the plurality of strips of amorphous solid material each have a length of at least about 5 mm, wherein the number of the plurality of strips of amorphous solid material varies by less than 40% between the articles in the pack, or less than 30% between the articles in the pack, or less than 20% between the articles in the pack.
A method for producing an aerosol-generating material, comprising feeding a single thickness sheet of an amorphous solid material into a cutting apparatus to form a plurality of strips of amorphous solid material.
A method for producing an aerosol-generating material, the method comprising:
- cutting a first portion of amorphous solid material to form a first component comprising a plurality of strips of amorphous solid material having a first length;
- and
- cutting a second portion of amorphous solid material to form a second component comprising a plurality of strips of amorphous solid material having a second length different to the first length.
A method for producing an aerosol-generating material, comprising cutting a sheet of amorphous solid material to form a plurality of strips of the amorphous solid material, and mixing the plurality of strips of amorphous solid material with a tobacco material, wherein the cutting step and the mixing step are performed within 12 hours of each other.
