Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tobacco aerosol generation, and particularly to a flavor compensation type aerosol generation product and a generation method thereof.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, new tobacco products have rapidly emerged, and multinational tobacco companies such as Philip Morris International, British American Tobacco, and Japan Tobacco Inc. have been actively developing and promoting sales from a strategic perspective. Currently, new tobacco products have become an important development direction of China National Tobacco Corporation, and various tobacco businesses are accelerating the research and development of new tobacco products.

[0003] New tobacco products are mainly classified into electronic cigarettes, non-combustion heated cigarettes, and smokeless tobacco products. Electronic cigarettes are formed by atomizing an electronic cigarette liquid through an atomizer to generate the smoke that consumers inhale. Non-combustion heated cigarettes have a similar appearance to conventional cigarettes, only heating without combustion, and consumers inhale the generated smoke. Therefore, both electronic cigarettes and non-combustion heated cigarettes are similar to conventional cigarettes in that they generate the smoke that consumers inhale during use. From the perspective of consumers, the flavor of e-cigarettes is generally considered to be the farthest from that of conventional cigarettes, and the flavor of heated cigarettes is closer to that of conventional cigarettes. At the same time, due to the difference in operating principles, e-cigarettes have a richer and more stable selection of flavor options, while heated cigarettes lack a certain stability in the release of flavor substances.
