MOISTURIZED ACTIVATED CARBON FOR SMOKING ARTICLES

摘要

Smoking articles include activated carbon with high initial moisture content and a breakable capsule situated where moisture can be transferred from the capsule to the activated carbon. Preferably, the activated carbon has a moisture content sufficient to prevent the activated carbon from decreasing the moisture content of the capsule by an amount that causes the capsule to leak or break under routine storage and handling conditions of the article.
