[0033] The filter section 14 is a filter component similar to that used in known cigarettes. This is used. Specifically, it is formed from a resin such as cellulose acetate. Flavoring portion 11 The aerosol generated by heating passes through the filter section 14 and is inhaled by the user. The part 14 moderately adsorbs volatile components, smoke, etc., in the generated aerosol. The irritation experienced when inhaling the aerosol is reduced, allowing users to enjoy the smoking experience.

[0034] Furthermore, in the electronic cigarette cartridge 1 of the first embodiment, the aero generated from the flavoring section 11 A support member 12 is provided to lower the temperature of the sol. Between the flavoring section 11 and the filter section 14 By spacing them out, the aerosol temperature decreases appropriately, preventing users from being exposed to high-temperature aerosols. Inhalation is prevented. Depending on the heating temperature of the flavoring section 11, the support member 1 2 is optional. The support member 12 is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6280287. It is a suitable shape with a portion of a cylindrical body cut out. The material is suitable and temperature resistant. From a property standpoint, silicone resin is preferably used.

[0035] A wrapping paper component 20 is used to maintain the shape of the electronic cigarette cartridge 1. Material 20, being made of paper, has hygroscopic properties, which can suppress moisture absorption by the flavoring section 11, and is also safe. This is the value. This wrapping paper member 20 covers at least the flavoring portion 11. In the first embodiment shown in Figure 1 In this case, the flavoring section 11 and the filter section 14 are in contact with the inner surface 20i of the rolled paper member 20. To reverse. In the winding paper member 20, the surface opposite to the inner surface 20i is the outer surface 20o. The paper component 20 comes into contact with the user's lips when it is placed in the user's mouth. The rolled paper component 20 is connected to the heating component 3. When inserted into 0, it also comes into contact with the inside of the insertion opening 31. As a result, the roll paper member 20 has lips. The feel of contact with it, the goodness of fixing it with the heating element 30, and the retention of the flavoring section 11 and the filter section 14. Quality is required. Various indicators of surface roughness are used to define this standard.

[0036] Specifically, the guidelines for various surface roughness standards in accordance with JIS B 0601 (2013) The physical properties of the surface of the wrapping paper member 20 are defined by the standard. The arithmetic plane of the inner surface 20i of the wrapping paper member 20. The uniform surface roughness (Rai) is 1 μm or more. The average maximum roughness of the inner surface 20i of the wrapping paper member 20. (Rzi) is 15 μm or larger, preferably 16 μm or larger.

[0037] Furthermore, the arithmetic mean surface roughness of the outer surface 20o opposite the inner surface 20i of the wrapping paper member 20 ( Rao) is 2 to 20 μm, preferably 2.5 to 17 μm, more preferably The average maximum roughness (Rz) of the outer surface 20o of the wrapping paper member 20. o) is 230 μm or less, preferably 15 to 230 μm.

[0038] Furthermore, the curtsis (Rkui) of the inner surface 20i of the wrapping paper member 20 is 1 to 15. Preferably 2 to 12, and more preferably 2.5 to 11. (Wrapped paper member 2) The kurtosis (Rkuo) of the outer surface 20o is 2 to 18, preferably 2.5. The ratio is 15, and more preferably 2.7 to 14.5.

[0039] In addition to these, the average length (Rsmi) of the roughness curve elements of the inner surface 20i of the wrapping paper member 20 is It is 150 to 1300, preferably 190 to 1100, more It is 195 to 1100. The average length of the roughness curve element of the outer surface 20o of the wrapping paper member 20 ( Rsmo) is 150 to 3500, preferably 160 to 3300, Preferably, it is between 170 and 3100.

[0040] Furthermore, the skewness (Rski) of the inner surface 20i of the paper wrapping member 20 is between -2 and 6. Preferably -0.9 to 5.5, and more preferably -0.9 to 5. The skewness (Rsko) of the outer surface 20o of the paper member 20 is -2.5 to 2.5. Preferably -2 to 2, more preferably -1.9 to 1.9.

[0041] Here, the arithmetic mean surface roughness: Ra represents the average difference in height from the average surface. :Rz indicates the peak values ​​of the surface's height. :Rku indicates the surface's sharpness. Roughness curve The average length of a line element, Rsm, is an indicator of the horizontal magnitude of surface irregularities, not their height. Kühnes: Rsk indicates the symmetry between peaks and troughs when the moving average is at the center.

[0042] The combination of these indicators determines the appearance of the outer surface 20° of the e-cigarette cartridge 1. The glossiness, feel and texture when held in the hand, and the pleasant feel when held in the mouth are all defined. If the surface roughness (irregularities) is too low, there will be less friction when handling the e-cigarette cartridge. It becomes easier to drop from your fingers. Also, although the gloss increases, it evokes the texture of a resin film. This causes the original tobacco texture to be lost. Conversely, if the surface roughness increases, the overall The shine fades, making it look unattractive. Also, it becomes rougher when in contact with the lips, creating an unpleasant sensation. It will come to occur.

[0043] Next, regarding the roughness (unevenness) of the inner surface 20i of the e-cigarette cartridge 1, the flavor section 1 The standard is to hold 1 and the filter part 14 in place so that they do not easily detach from the fixed part. It is determined that if the roughness (irregularities) of the inner surface is too low, friction will not occur and the holding force of each component will be weak. If the inner surface is too rough (uneven), the contact points with each component will decrease, and the holding force will not be maintained. It is not held. From the above point, the individual surfaces of the inner surface 20i and outer surface 20o of the wrapping paper member 20 The range of the roughness index is defined.

[0044] The wrapping paper member 20 is formed by the flavoring section 11 and the first inner surface 21i, as shown in the exploded cross-sectional schematic diagram of Figure 3. It includes a first wrapping paper member 21 that makes contact and covers. The wrapping paper member 20 is a filter part 14 The first embodiment shown in the figure includes a second roll paper member 24 that contacts and covers the second inner surface 24i. In the electronic cigarette cartridge 1 of this form, the wrapping paper material itself is changed for each component. Therefore, indices for surface roughness are defined in more detail depending on the component and part.

[0045] In the first volume paper member 21, its inner surface is the first inner surface 21i and is in contact with the flavoring portion 11. The outer surface is the first outer surface 21o. The first outer surface 21o is in contact with the third rolled paper member 23 and is a heating part. It is in contact with the inside of the insertion opening 31 of material 30.

[0046] The arithmetic mean surface roughness (Rai1) of the first inner surface 21i of the first paper member 21 is between 1 and 15. The thickness is μm, preferably 1.5 to 13 μm. First inner surface 2 of the first roll paper member 21 The average maximum roughness (Rzi1) of 1i is 100 μm or less, preferably 20 to 100 It is larger than μm.

[0057] The first volume paper component 21 is held in direct contact with the flavoring section 11, as disclosed in Figure 3, etc. Therefore, a surface roughness is required to generate appropriate friction on the first inner surface 21i side. Furthermore, The first outer surface 21o side is in contact with the insertion opening 31 of the heating element 30 and the third roll paper member 23.

Therefore, the aforementioned range is It is defined.

[0059] The wrapping paper member 20, the first wrapping paper member 21, and the second wrapping paper member 24 of the electronic cigarette cartridge 1 Furthermore, the physical properties of the paper thickness are added. The thickness of the rolled paper member 20 is 0.02 The thickness is 0.02 to 0.2 mm or more. In particular, the thickness of the first roll paper member 21 is The thickness of the second roll paper member 24 is 0.02 mm or more, preferably 0.02 to 0.2 mm. The thickness is 0.05 mm or more, preferably 0.05 to 0.2 mm. Regarding the paper member 24 of Volume 2 Therefore, the user's saliva penetrates the second paper component 24 through contact with the user's lips. The strength can be increased by increasing the number of rolls of paper. Taking this into consideration, a somewhat thinner paper is used.

[0060] The wrapping paper member 20, the first wrapping paper member 21, and the second wrapping paper member 24 of the electronic cigarette cartridge 1 Therefore, the air permeability property of the paper is added. When a user inhales tobacco aerosols... This is because adequate air circulation is necessary. The air permeability of the wrapping paper member 20 is 2 kPa. That is all. In particular, the air permeability of the first paper member 21 is 2 kPa or more, and the air permeability of the second paper member 24 is 2 kPa or more. The pressure is 30 kPa or higher. A comparison between the second paper member 24 and the first paper member 21 shows that the degree of ventilation is suppressed. The reason for this restriction is to prevent leakage of intake air from around the filter section 14.

[0061] The wrapping paper member 20, the first wrapping paper member 21, and the second wrapping paper member 24 of the electronic cigarette cartridge 1 Accordingly, the physical property of the wet-dry portion of the paper (hereinafter referred to as tensile strength) is added. The tensile strength of the paper wrapping member 20 is 0.3 N / mm or more, preferably 0.4 N / mm or less. The above is true.

The reason it is improved compared to the paper component 21 is that when the user puts the e-cigarette cartridge 1 in their mouth... When held in the mouth, saliva penetrates the side of the second paper component 24. Therefore, even in a more moist state This is to ensure that strength is maintained.

[0062] Next, the electronic cigarette cartridge 1 is heated by the heating element 30 (see Figure 2), Regarding the aerosol generated from the flavoring section 11 of the electronic cigarette cartridge 1, please see below. It can be stopped.

[0063] Regardless of whether it is a tobacco material or a non-tobacco material, any material that is the source of the fragrance is called a "fragrance source material". A fragrance cartridge for heating and filling to generate "aerosols for fragrance." The internal part is called the "fragrance generator," and in order to generate fragrance, it is formed in a predetermined state based on the "fragrance source material." A state in which it is manufactured (including solid, liquid, and gel forms) and contained as the main body of the "fragrance generator". The object is called the "fragrance source," and the device has a heating element that heats the fragrance generator inside the fragrance cartridge. These are called "fragrance devices." These also include those that use non-tobacco materials that do not contain tobacco components. This is because it applies.

[0064] "Fragrance" means "a pleasant scent," and refers to the scent (fragrance) that emanates from the material itself. The aroma that fills the air when heated, and the flavor that lingers in the mouth when inhaled. ) and others.

[0065] While "smoking" generally means smoking a cigarette, here it simply means "smoke." It means "to enjoy," "to savor the smoke," or "to fully appreciate the smoke," and the source of the smoke is tobacco. It is not limited to and applies to non-tobacco materials as well. Also, the term "smoke" here refers to, for example, For example, things that look like smoke or smoke-like, such as droplets dispersed in the air, like aerosols. This also includes ".

[0066] In the field of e-cigarettes, unlike conventional cigarettes that are heated by a flame, Temperature control and range are freely adjustable. Therefore, users can achieve a result equivalent to or different from a conventional cigarette. You can enjoy the flavor by smoking.

[0067] Therefore, the fragrance source material (flavoring section 11 in Figure 1) of the e-cigarette cartridge is used By defining the materials and, furthermore, the components of the resulting aerosol, new smoking devices and electric devices can be developed. Provides the filling material for small cigarette cartridges.

[0068] In other words, (1) in order to form an aerosol in the components constituting the aerosol-forming body Ion gas chromatogram containing non-tobacco plant components and aerosol forma components The peaks were separated by component in the column temperature range of 200 to 400°C and the gas chromatographic analysis was performed. This is a heated electronic cigarette filler shown in the ion detector of a quantitative analyzer. Details of the matogram will be mentioned in the examples.

[0069] (2) Non-tobacco plants that form aerosols are defined as having (i) an aroma that emanates from the plant itself. The ingredients that give off the fragrance include Chinese tea, black tea, as well as rose, osmanthus, lavender, and (ii) At least one of the following is used from saffron flowers, and (ii) Heat the aerosol form When used, the aroma that is defined as the scent that wafts through the air is found in ingredients such as shallots and scallions. , at least one of the following is used from the rhizomes of garlic, onions and konjac, ( iii) Defined as the odor that lingers in the mouth when an aerosol-forming material is heated and inhaled along with the aerosol. The ingredients that give off the flavor include quince, plants of the citrus genus in the Rutaceae family, and grapes. In addition, peppermint plants of the genus Mentha in the Lamiaceae family, spearmint plants of the genus Mentha in the Lamiaceae family, and It is used from the above-ground stems and leaves of Nepeta catkins, Nepeta japonica, Nepeta arborescens, and Nepeta serrata. This is a refill for heated electronic cigarettes, using at least one of these refills.

[0070] The non-tobacco plants mentioned above are selected from the plants described above.

[0071] (3) Propylene glycol, ethylene glycol as a material for the aerosol former , diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, or This is a heated electronic cigarette filler that uses at least one ingredient derived from glycerin. .

[0072] The purpose of the aerosol former is to provide an appropriate viscosity so that it can form as an aerosol after heating. This is because it is preferable for it to be so. In addition, aerosol formers have hydrophobic parts, The dissolution of water-based components is aided.

[0073] The balance of mass of each component is important when a user enjoys smoking using an e-cigarette cartridge. This falls within the range for exhibiting a good flavor. Of course, this depends on your preference for tobacco or non-tobacco flavors. The ingredients can be adjusted as needed.

[0074] Next, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of vaporization generated during the use of e-cigarette cartridges The total amount of the vaporized component is: aerosol former: 30 to 70% by mass, para Finite hydrocarbons: 10% by mass or less, carbon dioxide: 5% by mass or less, water: 1 to 5% by mass This is a heated electronic cigarette filler that is contained as a mass percentage.

[0075] Aerosol Forma is composed of the components listed in (3) Aerosol Forma above. Hydrocarbons are mainly compounds of carbon and hydrogen. Water is primarily used as a filler (flavoring section 11 in Figure 1). ) is derived from tobacco plants or non-tobacco plants contained in it. Carbon dioxide is produced by heating It originates from the burning of tobacco plants or non-tobacco plants.

[0076] Furthermore, as a vaporized component, the total amount of said vaporized component is limonene: 0.01 to 1 Mass%, Cyclotene: 0.01 to 1 mass%, Menthol: 0.1% or less A heated electronic device containing 15% by mass of , and 0.01 to 1.5% by mass of neophytadiene. This is a filling material for cigarettes.

[0077] The taste of tobacco is primarily determined by the amount of these components present.

[0078] Furthermore, the vaporized component contains nicotine at a concentration of 15% by mass or less in the total vaporized component. This is a refill material for heated electronic cigarettes.

[0079] Nicotine is derived from the tobacco plant. Therefore, it produces a taste similar to existing cigarettes.

[0080] Furthermore, as a vaporized component, the total amount of said vaporized component is caffeine: 1 to 8% by mass. This is a refill for heated electronic cigarettes that contains [the specified ingredient].

[0081] Caffeine is derived from non-tobacco plants. It is primarily a component found in tea when it is included in the filling. .

[0082] Additionally, as refills for heated electronic cigarettes, cocoa beans, guarana, coffee beans, mate tea, and green tea are available. Green tea, Gyokuro, Sencha, Matcha, Hojicha, Bancha, Kamairicha, Genmaicha, Oolong tea, Chinese tea, Black tea One or more types of cola nuts are selected.

[0083] By using the listed ingredients as fillers, a variety of flavors can be added to heated electronic cigarettes. This is possible. Furthermore, this applies not only to heated electronic cigarettes, but also to tobacco-like smoking methods that do not use tobacco plants. It can also be used as a smoking device. [Examples]

[0084] [Measurement of various surface roughness indicators] Nine types of paper were prepared for each part used in e-cigarette cartridges, conforming to JIS B 0601 ( Measurements were taken in accordance with the 2013 standard.

[0090] We obtained various physical properties related to surface roughness for the paper used in each part of the e-cigarette cartridge. Based on these, we determined the ideal range for the various physical properties related to surface roughness as described above.

[0091] [Measuring paper thickness] The paper thickness of each part used in the e-cigarette cartridge was measured under the same conditions and with the same number of samples as when measuring the arithmetic mean surface roughness. The results are shown in Table 1. Note that there is no distinction between the outer and inner surfaces.

[0092] [Table 1]

[0093] [Measurement of air permeability] As a measuring device, a texture analyzer (TA.XTplus, Stable M (Manufactured by icro Systems) and the included special cylindrical probe (35mm in diameter) are used. The measurement was performed using the same number of samples as the arithmetic mean surface roughness measurement.

[0094] (1) As preparation of the sample, punch out the sample paper using a punch with an inner diameter of 13 mm, and the sample and did. (2) Stainless steel membrane filter holder (Swinny Filter H Older 13mm; filter size φ13mm (Merck) Luer lock Use this to connect to a plastic syringe (10mL Terumo syringe), and apply the surrounding area to the connection point. It was fixed with Poxy adhesive. Here is a gasket (outer diameter 13mm, inner diameter 10mm, thickness 0.1 I added one sheet (mm). (3) For air permeability testing (measurement of air permeability), use the crosshead of a texture analyzer. The plunger was pushed in at a speed of 5 mm / s. The plunger rubber part was pressed down. The test was stopped just before reaching the tip of the cylinder, and a load-strain curve was obtained (n=5). In conjunction with this, Then, a blank test was conducted without the sample paper (n=5), and the difference in load compared to when the sample paper was inserted was measured. The minutes were calculated. In this measurement of air permeability, a smaller number indicates higher air permeability.

[0095] The results of the breathability test (average of 5 points) are shown in Table 1. Note that the outer surface and inner surface Assume there is no distinction between cells.

[0096] [Measurement of tensile strength in wet and dry areas] As a measuring device, a texture analyzer (TA.XTplus, Stable M I used the Icro System product and the included Tensile Grip. Sandpaper was glued to all four sides to prevent slipping. The arithmetic mean surface roughness was measured using the same number of samples. went.

[0097] (1) As preparation of the sample, cut the paper sample into rectangles (width 7 mm, length 15 mm or more) In the center, add 0.5 μL of a 1:1 mixture (by weight) of deionized water and glycerin using a micropipette. The solution was added dropwise using a syringe. Visual confirmation was made that the spread of the spot due to absorption of the solution had almost completely subsided. After inspection, the spot diameter in the width direction of the specimen was measured with calipers and immediately subjected to the following tensile test. .

[0098] (2) The conditions for the tensile test were as follows: Gap: 10mm • Crosshead speed: 8 mm / min • Data acquisition frequency: 10 points / second • Crosshead travel distance: 3mm (3) When analyzing the data, refer to the method described in Patent No. 6572318, The maximum load (Fmax[N]) that appeared earlier was defined as the tensile strength. The width of the paper sample was measured directly from the spot. Divide Fmax by the dry width [N] after subtracting the diameter to obtain the maximum load [N / mm] per unit dry width. They sought

[0099] The results of the tensile strength of the wet and dry portions (5-point average) are shown in Table 1. There is no distinction between the surface and the inner surface.

[0100] [Component analysis] Regarding volatile components generated from the filling (flavoring part) when using e-cigarette cartridges, Identified by chromatographic mass spectrometry. Flavoring portion (filling) of e-cigarette cartridge. A 0.3 mg sample was taken and subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The flavoring component (filling) of the provided e-cigarette cartridge is made from tea leaves, a non-tobacco plant. That is the case.

[0101] Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry: Agilent Technologies, Inc., 7890A / 5975C Sample introduction device: Frontier Lab Co., Ltd., PY-3030D Carrier gas: He Column: ZB-XLB-HT Inferno (inner diameter 0.25 mm, length 30 m, film thickness) (0.25 μm) Heating desorption temperature: Heating was performed from 200°C to 400°C by increasing the temperature at a rate of 30°C / min. Gas chromatograph inlet temperature: 330℃ Split ratio: "1:30"

[0102] The conditions for mass spectrometry were as follows: Ionization method: Electron ionization method Mass spectrometer interface temperature: 280°C Scan range: m / z 15-600

[0103] Gas chromatography analysis revealed that nicotine was not present in the identified components, instead Some contain caffeine. This is because tobacco plants were not used. Furthermore, numerous components that provide a refreshing sensation, such as aroma, when the user smokes have been detected. It was found that it produces a good taste when smoked, without the use of plants.

[0104] When a first volume paper member 21 and a second volume paper member 24 are provided, the second volume paper member 24 2 The inner surface can be positioned to cover a portion of the first outer surface of the first roll paper member 21. The first paper member 21 covers at least the flavoring section 11, and the second paper member 24 covers at least the flavoring section The filter section 14 is covered. Between the flavor section 11 and the filter section 14 are the support member 12 and the cooling member. The following may or may not be provided. Also, the flavoring section 11 and the filter section 14 The space between them may be empty.

[0105] In this case, if the kurtosis (Rkuo2) of the second outer surface of the second roll paper member 24 is 3 or more, Furthermore, the skewness (Rsko2) of the second outer surface of the second paper member 24 is less than 0. This configuration may be used. According to this configuration, the second outer surface of the second roll paper member 24 that comes into contact with the user's hand Regarding this, by increasing the variation in surface irregularities to a certain extent, and by having more concaves than convex ones, This can improve the feel of the product and create a certain amount of friction, which is beneficial for e-cigarettes. This makes it easier to insert the cartridge 1 into the heating element 30.

[0106] Next, the electronic cigarette cartridge 50 of the second embodiment will be described. Figure 4 shows the second embodiment. This is an exploded perspective view of the form of the electronic cigarette cartridge 50. The ridge has a hard, thick, cylindrical wrapping paper member 70, and the inside of the cylindrical wrapping paper member 70 contains fragrance The flavor section 60 and the filter section 64 are inserted together to form the device.

[0107] In this embodiment, the wrapping paper member 70 extends from one end of the flavoring section 60 to the mouthpiece of the filter section 64. It covers up to the other end. The thickness of the wrapping paper member 70 is 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm, preferably 0.2 mm. The thickness is approximately 0.4 mm. In this case, the rolled paper member 7 is located at the mouthpiece where the user's lips come into contact. Because 0 is thick and hard, it is likely to cause discomfort. Also, the wrapping paper member 70 is not easily deformed. The flavoring section 60 and filter section 64 held inside are not in sufficient contact with the wrapping paper member 70. For example, when the user takes out the e-cigarette cartridge 50 and inserts it into the heating element 30, These may fall off. Therefore, the outer surface of the wrapping paper member 70 may be affected by the user. There is little discomfort when held in the mouth, and the inner surface of the wrapping paper material 70 is less affected by the flavoring portion 60 and the fill The holding force of the part 64 is required to be good.

[0108] The physical properties of the wrapping paper member 70 having such characteristics are preferably within the following range: The arithmetic mean surface roughness (Rai) of the inner surface of the winding paper member 70 is 5 to 10 μm. The arithmetic mean surface roughness (Rao) of the outer surface of the paper component 70 is 6 to 15 μm. The average maximum roughness (Rzi) of the inner surface of the paper member 70 is 25 to 40 μm, and the rolled paper member 7 The average maximum surface roughness (Rzo) of the outer surface of 0 is 40 to 60 μm. The kurtosis (Rkui) of the surface is 3 to 5, and the kurtosis of the outer surface of the rolled paper member 70 ( Rkuo) is 3 to 5. By satisfying at least some of these physical property ranges, This design minimizes discomfort when the user holds the device in their mouth, and also improves the retention of the flavoring section 60 and the filter section 64. This can be achieved. Furthermore, these physical property ranges can also be applied to the rolled paper member 20 of the first embodiment, and the same applies. It can produce the following effects.

[0109] The contents housed inside the wrapping paper component 70 are not limited to just the flavoring section 60 and the filter section 64. Figure 5 shows a modified example of the electronic cigarette cartridge 50. Figure 5(a) is a modified version of Figure 4. The shown is an electronic cigarette cartridge 50, with a flavoring section 60 and a filter section inside the wrapping paper member 70. 64 and are arranged so that they are adjacent to each other.

[0110] In Figure 5(b), the electronic cigarette cartridge 50 has a support member 62 positioned adjacent to the flavoring section 60. It is placed, and there is a space 69 between the support member 62 and the filter part 64. When the heating needle 32 is inserted, the flavoring section 60 is pushed towards the filter section 64, and then supported by the support section The material 62 provides support. If the support member 62 is adjacent to the filter section 64, the support member 62 is Although supported by the filter portion 64, if the support member 62 is adjacent to the space portion 69, the support portion The flavoring section 60 needs to be supported by the frictional force between the material 62 and the wrapping paper member 70. By making the wrapping paper member 70 within the aforementioned physical property range, the support member 62 is securely held in place by the wrapping paper member 70. This prevents the flavoring section 60 and the support member 62 from being pushed into the space 69.

[0111] In Figure 5(c), the electronic cigarette cartridge 50 has a support member 62 positioned adjacent to the flavoring section 60. The cooling member 65 is positioned adjacent to the support member 62, and the fragrance is positioned adjacent to the cooling member 65. A ball 66 containing the element is positioned, and a filter section 64 is positioned adjacent to the ball 66. Even with this configuration, by giving the wrapping paper member 70 the aforementioned physical properties, when the user puts it in their mouth... This minimizes any sense of unnaturalness, and also allows for good retention of flavor in the flavor section 60 and the filter section 64. [Explanation of symbols]
