Smoking article

A smoking article comprising:

• (a) a carbonaceous fuel element;
• (b) a physically separate aerosol generating means including a volatile substance;
• and
• (c) a heat conducting member which contacts both the fuel element and the aerosol generating means;
• the fuel element and the aerosol generating means being arranged in a conductive heat exchange relationship such that the aerosol generating means receives conductive heat transfer substantially throughout the time of burning of the fuel element.

A smoking article comprising:

• (a) a carbonaceous fuel element;
• (b) a physically separate aerosol generating means including a volatile substance;
• and
• (c) heat conducting member which encompasses at least a portion of the fuel element;
• the fuel element and the aerosol generating means being arranged in a conductive heat exchange relationship such that the aerosol generating means receives conductive heat transfer substantially throughout the time of burning of the fuel element.

A smoking article comprising:

• (a) a carbonaceous fuel element;
• (b) a physically separate aerosol generating means including a volatile substance;
• and
• (c) a heat conducting member at least partially within the fuel element;
• the fuel element and the aerosol generating means being arranged in a conductive heat exchange relationship such that the aerosol generating means receives conductive heat transfer substantially throughout the time of burning of the fuel element.

A cigarette-type smoking article comprising:

• (a) a carbonaceous fuel element less than about 30 mm in length prior to smoking;
• (b) a physically separate aerosol generating means including a volatile substance;
• and
• (c) means for delivering the volatile substance to the user.

A cigarette-type article comprising:

• (a) a carbonaceous fuel element less than 30 mm in length;
• (b) a mouthend piece;
• (c) a carrier between the non-lighting end of the fuel element and the mouthend piece bearing an aerosol forming substance;
• (d) a heat conducting member for conducting heat from the fuel element to the carrier;
• and
• (e) a passageway for delivering the aerosol forming substance to the mouthend piece.

A disposable cartridge smoking article for use with a separate mouthpiece comprising:

• (a) a carbonaceouos fuel element less than about 30 mm in length prior to smoking;
• (b) a physically separate carrier adjacent to the fuel element including at least one substance selected from the group consisting of aerosol producing substances, flavor producing substances, pharmacologically active substances, and physiologically active substances;
• and
• (c) means for coupling the carrier to the fuel element.

A smoking article comprising:

• (a) a carbonaceous fuel element;
• (b) a physically separate aerosol generating means spaced from the lighting end of the fuel element, which means includes a volatile substance;
• and
• (c) a heat conducting member spaced from the lighting end of the fuel element which conducts heat from the fuel element to the aerosol generating means.

A smoking article comprising:

• (a) a carbonaeous fuel element less than about 30 mm in length;
• generating means
• (b) a physically separate aerosol spaced from the lighting end of the fuel element which means includes a volatile substance;
• (c) a heat conducting member for conducting heat from the fuel element to the aerosol generating means, the member being spaced from the lighting end of the fuel element;
• and
• (d) means for delivering the volatile substance to the user.

A smoking article comprising:

• (b) a mouthend pieces;
• (c) a carrier between the non-lightning end of the fuel element and the mouthend piece bearing an aerosol forming substance;
• (d) a heat conducting member spaced from the lighting end of the fuel element for conducting heat from the fuel element to the carrier;
• and
• (e) a passageway for delivering the aerosol forming substance to the mouthend piece.

A disposable cartridge smoking article for use with a separate mouthend piece comprising:

• (a) a carbonaceous fuel element less than about 30 mm in length;
• (b) a physically separate carrier adjacent to the fuel element, including at least one substance selected from the group consisting of aerosol producing substances, flavor producing substances, pharmacologically active substances, and physiologically active substances;
• and
• (c) a heat conducting member which couples the carrier to the fuel element, said member being spaced from the lighting end of the fuel element.
