A non-smoking, non-ash, and non-combustible cigarette simulator. When the cigarette is smoked, electrical, magnetic, sonic, light and aromatic effects occur.

A smoking article, such as a cigarette, includes a lighting end and a mouth end. The lighting end is a longitudinally extending segment comprising smokable material that is intended to be lit and burned, and the resulting smoke generated by the burning of that smokable material is intended to be drawn into the mouth of the smoker through the mouth end of smoking article. A mouth end piece is located at the mouth end of the smoking article, and the mouth end piece allows the smoking article to be placed in the mouth of the smoker to be drawn upon. The smoking article further incorporates an aerosol-generation system that is located between the lighting end segment and the mouth end piece. The aerosol-generation system includes (i) a heat generation segment located adjacent to the lighting end segment, and (ii) an aerosol-generation region located between the heat generation segment and the mouth end piece. The aerosol-generation region incorporates an aerosol-forming material (e.g., glycerin and flavors). The lighting end segment is in a heat exchange relationship with the heat generation segment such that burning smokable material within the lighting end segment can ignite a combustible fuel element of the heat generation segment. The heat generation segment is in a heat exchange relationship with the aerosol-generation region such that heat generated by the burning fuel element acts to volatilize aerosol-forming material for aerosol formation.

Cigarettes manufactured using modified automated cigarette making apparatus can possess smokable rods having additive materials applied to paper wrapping materials as patterns. The additive materials can be applied to a continuous paper web using rollers.) One of those rollers can have a series of pockets in its roll face to receive additive formulation from a reservoir and to define the pattern of the formulation on the paper. The additive material in the recessed pockets of a first roller can be transferred in a controlled manner to a second roller and from the second roller to desired locations on the paper web. The additive material can also be applied to a transfer roller, transferred from the transfer roller to pick-up roller, transferred from the pick-up roller to an application roller, and transferred to the paper web that passes between the application roller and a back-up roller.
