ELECTRICAL SMOKING SYSTEM FOR DELIVERING FLAVORS AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME

摘要

A smoking system (21) is provided in which a replaceable cigarette (23) containing tobacco flavor material is electrically heated by a set of electrical heater elements contained within a lighter (25 ) to evolve tobacco flavors or other components in vapor or aerosol form for delivery to a smoker. The cigarette (23) and lighter (25 ) are adapted to provide air flow patterns through the smoking system such that air flows transversely into the cigarette (23). Suc h patterns improve aerosol and flavor delivery to the smoker and reduce the condensation of residual heater-region vapor/aerosol i n the smoking system.
