LIQUID AEROSOL FORMULATIONS AND AEROSOL GENERATING DEVICES AND METHODS FOR GENERATING AEROSOLS

摘要

Liquid aerosol formulations for generating aerosols include at least one hig h volatility carrier and a second component. In some embodiments, the liquid aerosol formulation is propellant free. An aerosol generating device generat es an aerosol by passing liquid aerosol formulation through a flow passage heat ed to convert the liquid into a vapor, which is mixed with air to form an aerosol. In some embodiments, particles of the aerosol consist essentially o f the second component. The aerosol generator can be incorporated in a hand he ld inhaler. The aerosol can be delivered to a targeted portion of the lung usin g the inhaler.
