<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide improved articles and methods of delivering additive materials or agents such as flavorings to cigarettes. <P>SOLUTION: Improved delivery of additive materials to cigarettes is provided through the use of one or more capsules (10) containing additive materials, such as flavor components, in a filter section (40) of a cigarette. The sealed capsule or capsules are subjected to an external force, such as squeezing, by a smoker prior to or during smoking of the cigarette in order to release at least a portion of the additive material from the one or more capsules and expose the additive material to mainstream smoke passing through the filter. The sealed capsules provide a barrier between the additive materials and other cigarettes components, such as sorbents or filter materials, in order to reduce additive material migration into the other cigarette components prior to desired use. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
