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.
Scope Notes
Glossary: Cigarette Cigarettes “cigarette” means:• a small tube of wrapper containing tobacco or tobacco substitutes which people smoke by igniting it directly and where the tobacco (or the tobacco substitute) is burned;• in a broader sense it also means a small tube of wrapper containing tobacco or tobacco substitutes which is associated with a heat source at manufacturing or inserted by the user in a device containing a heat source, and where the tobacco (or the tobacco substitute) is heated without being burned. In this broader sense, the word “rod” is also often used in place of cigarette. Simulated smoking device Simulated smoking devices “simulated smoking devices” means devices simulating the act of smoking without burning tobacco, e.g. so called electronic cigarettes
