Abstract
A simulated cigarette is provided that includes an elongated deformable cylindrical body that is open at both ends thereof. At least two capsules, at least one of which being rupturable, are included in the cylindrical body. Each capsule contains a potentially chemically reactive substance which, when admixed together, react chemically to produce an exothermic chemical reaction, the heat of which is used to elevate the temperature of a vapor within the simulated cigarette. The heated vapor is inhaled by a user and in the process passes through a substance from which it absorbs either a flavoring, medicine, or a quantity of nicotine. A one-way valve is provided which permits the vapor to travel in only one direction through the simulated cigarette.
Claims20
A simulated cigarette, comprising:
- (a) a cylinder having a first end and a second end, at least a portion of said cylinder being deformable, said portion being disposed intermediate said first end and said second end;
- (b) valve means disposed in said cylinder near to said first end;
- (c) at least a pair of capsules in said cylinder, at least one of said pair of capsules being rupturable upon a compressive force being applied thereto by applying a compressive force to the outside of said cylinder sufficient to deform said portion of said cylinder, each of said at least a pair of capsules containing a substance therein that, when combined together, react chemically in such a manner as to produce heat;
- and
- (d) means to provide a filter disposed in said cylinder near to said second end.
