TITLE: AEROSOL DELIVERY ARTICLE INVENTORS: DENNIS LEE POTTER MARR LINDSAY RAKER HENTRY THOMAS RIDINGS ANDREW JACKSON SENSABAUGH, JR. AMOS EARL WESTMORELAND DONNA RIMES WOODS CHANDRA KUMAR BANERJEE An aerosol delivery article provides volatilized flavor or drug by heating a flavor or drug carrying substrate, but not burning any material. A heat source which includes a metal oxide (eg., calcium oxide), an anhydrous metal sulfate (eg., magnesium sulfate), an inorganic salt and a sugar, generates heat upon contact of water therewith. The heat produced by the heat source heats flavor or drug which is in a heat exchange relationship therewith. The flavor or drug is volatilized and is drawn into the mouth of the user of the article. Typical heat sources heat the flavor or drug to a temperature within 70.degree.C to 200.degree.C for 4 to 8 minutes.
