Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

At present, new tobacco products have become a key development direction of China National Tobacco Corporation, and various tobacco enterprises are accelerating the research and development of new tobacco products.

New tobacco products are mainly categorized into: electronic cigarettes, heat-not-burn cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products. Wherein, electronic cigarettes are formed by atomizing electronic cigarette liquid through an atomizer and generating the smoke inhaled by consumers; heat-not-burn cigarettes are similar in appearances to traditional cigarettes, and are only heated but not burnt, and the generated smoke is inhaled by a consumer. Therefore, when in use, electronic cigarettes and heat-not-burn cigarettes are close to traditional cigarettes in that they both produce smoke for consumers to inhale. From the consumer's point of view, the flavor of e-cigarettes is generally considered to be the furthest from that of traditional cigarettes, and the flavor of heated cigarettes is close to that of traditional cigarettes; at the same time, because of the difference in working principles, e-cigarettes have a richer and more stable selection of flavor options, while heated cigarettes have a slightly less stable release of flavor substances.
