Description

A24D covers the structural design, composition, and manufacturing processes of cigars and cigarettes, including the formulation of tobacco blends, wrapper materials, and construction methods. This classification encompasses tobacco smoke filters and mouthpieces used in smoking products, addressing their materials (such as cellulose acetate or activated carbon), design configurations, and attachment mechanisms. The subclass includes innovations in the production equipment and techniques for manufacturing filters and mouthpieces as distinct components or as integrated features of smoking articles. Related innovations in simulated smoking devices and general smokers' requisites are classified elsewhere within A24.

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 2 subcodes exist in both systems.
