Definitions

  • the present invention relates to flavored products.
  • the filler material for the tip plug is cellulose acetate tow or paper, the same as the filter material. Because these are the same white color as the filter material, there is a possibility that some users may mistakenly insert the filter side (mouth end) of the tobacco stick into the heating chamber of the electrically heated flavor generating device. Therefore, the present invention provides a flavor product with a tip plug that makes it easy to identify the mouth end. The present invention also provides a flavor product that has a tip plug but gives the same appearance and impression as a conventional tobacco stick.
  • the present invention can provide a flavored product having a tip plug that makes it easy to identify the mouth end.
