Smoking article with reduced tobacco smell and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A smoking article with a reduced tobacco smell and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The smoking article according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may include a smoking material portion, which includes a tobacco material, and a filter portion, wherein the tobacco material may include a material formed by processing tobacco leaves whose nicotine content is 0.5 wt % or lower. In this case, the nicotine component and nitrogen compounds, which are major causes of a tobacco smell, are reduced from tobacco smoke, and thus a tobacco smell of smoke generated during smoking can be significantly reduced.

1 . A smoking article comprising:
 a smoking material portion which includes a tobacco material; and   a filter portion,   wherein the tobacco material includes a first material formed by processing tobacco leaves whose nicotine content is 0.5 wt % or lower.   
     
     
         2 . The smoking article of  claim 1 , wherein the tobacco material includes 10 wt % to 40 wt % of the first material. 
     
     
         3 . The smoking article of  claim 1 , wherein the nicotine content of the tobacco leaves is 0.1 wt % or lower. 
     
     
         4 . The smoking article of  claim 1 , wherein the tobacco material further includes a second material formed by processing other tobacco leaves whose nicotine content is 1.0 wt % or higher. 
     
     
         5 . The smoking article of  claim 4 , wherein a weight ratio of the first material to the second material is in a range of 1:1 to 1:9. 
     
     
         6 . The smoking article of  claim 5 , wherein the weight ratio is in a range of 1:1.5 to 1:4. 
     
     
         7 . The smoking article of  claim 4 , wherein:
 the nicotine content of the tobacco leaves is 0.2 wt % or lower; and   the nicotine content of the other tobacco leaves is 1.5 wt % or higher.   
     
     
         8 . The smoking article of  claim 1 , further comprising a filter wrapper that wraps around the filter portion,
 wherein a flavoring sheet including a sheet-forming agent and a flavoring is applied to at least a partial area of the filter wrapper, and   a smell-reducing material is applied on an outer surface of the flavoring sheet.
