Vaporisable material

Abstract

A vaporisable material for use in a vapour-generating device comprising tobacco having a moisture content of from about 3 to 5 wt %, and further comprising a humectant in an amount of at least 20 wt % is disclosed. The invention also relates to use of the vaporisable material in a vapour-generating device, and to a sealed package containing the vaporisable material and a device containing the sealed package of vaporisable material.

1 . A vaporisable material for use in a vapour-generating device, comprising tobacco having a moisture content of from about 3 to 5 wt %, and further comprising a humectant in an amount of at least 20 wt %. 
     
     
         2 . A vaporisable material according to  claim 1 , wherein the humectant is propylene glycol. 
     
     
         3 . A vaporisable material according to  claim 1 , wherein the humectant is present in an amount from about 20 to 60 wt %. 
     
     
         4 . A sealed package containing the vaporisable material as defined in  claim 1 . 
     
     
         5 . Use of the vaporisable material as defined in  claim 1  in a vapour-generating device. 
     
     
         6 . A vapour-generating device comprising the vaporisable material as defined in  claim 1 . 
     
     
         7 . A vapour-generating device comprising a vaporisable material, wherein the vaporisable material is contained in a sealed package according to  claim 4 . 
     
     
         8 . A vapour-generating device according to  claim 6 , wherein the device is capable of maintaining the moisture content of the tobacco component of the vaporisable material within the range of from about 3 to 5 wt %, preferably at about 4 wt %. 
     
     
         9 . A vapour-generating device according to  claim 6 , wherein the device is a tobacco heating device. 
     
     
         10 . A vapour-generating device according to  claim 8 , wherein the device is a tobacco heating device.
