Non-combustion type inhalation article

Abstract

A non-combustion type inhalation article comprising a tobacco filler having a tobacco particle density of not more than 0.51 g/cm3.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A heating type inhalation article comprising:
 a total tobacco filler, the total tobacco filler including a plurality of individual tobacco filler units, each individual tobacco filler unit of the plurality of individual tobacco filler units having a tobacco particle density of not more than 0.51 g/cm 3 .   
     
     
         2 . The heating type inhalation article according to  claim 1 , wherein the tobacco particle density of each individual tobacco filler unit of the plurality of individual tobacco filler units is not more than 0.42 g/cm 3 . 
     
     
         3 . The heating type inhalation article according to  claim 1 , wherein each individual tobacco filler unit of the plurality of individual tobacco filler units have a surface area-equivalent sphere diameter of not more than 1.0 mm. 
     
     
         4 . The heating type inhalation article according to  claim 3 , wherein each individual tobacco filler unit of the plurality of individual tobacco filler units have a surface area-equivalent sphere diameter of not more than 0.75 mm. 
     
     
         5 . The heating type inhalation article according to  claim 1 , wherein each individual tobacco filler unit of the plurality of individual tobacco filler units are present in an amount of not less than 1% by mass with respect to the total tobacco filler included in the heating type inhalation article. 
     
     
         6 . The heating type inhalation article according to  claim 1 , further comprising a heating part which heats the total tobacco filler to such an extent that the total tobacco filler does not burn. 
     
     
         7 . The heating type inhalation article according to  claim 1 , wherein each individual tobacco filler unit of the plurality of individual tobacco filler units are molded bodies of cut tobacco. 
     
     
         8 . A method of increasing a release efficiency of a tobacco flavor component of a total tobacco filler, the method comprising:
 forming the total tobacco filler of a plurality of individual tobacco filler units, each individual tobacco filler unit of the plurality of individual tobacco filler units having a tobacco particle density of not more than 0.51 g/cm 3 ; and   providing a heating part which heats the total tobacco filler to such an extent that the total tobacco filler does not burn.   
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein the tobacco particle density of each individual tobacco filler unit of the plurality of individual tobacco filler units is not more than 0.42 g/cm 3 . 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein each individual tobacco filler unit of the plurality of individual tobacco filler units have a surface area-equivalent sphere diameter of not more than 1.0 mm. 
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein each individual tobacco filler unit of the plurality of individual tobacco filler units have a surface area-equivalent sphere diameter of not more than 0.75 mm. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein each individual tobacco filler unit of the plurality of individual tobacco filler units are present in an amount of not less than 1% by mass with respect to the total tobacco fillers included in the heating type inhalation article. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein forming each individual tobacco filler unit of the plurality of individual tobacco filler units includes molding bodies of cut tobacco. 
     
     
         14 . A system comprising:
 a heating type inhalation article; and   a separate heating device, wherein   the heating type inhalation article comprises a total tobacco filler, the total tobacco filler including a plurality of individual tobacco filler units, each individual tobacco filler unit of the plurality of individual tobacco filler units having a tobacco particle density of not more than 0.51 g/cm 3 , and   the separate heating device is arranged to cooperate with the heating type inhalation article to heat the tobacco filler of the heating type inhalation article without burning/combustion to allow a user to inhale a tobacco flavor component.   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the separate heating device is arranged to heat the tobacco filler from outside of the heating type inhalation article.
