Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0531221A1] The subject of the invention is a process intended for modifying or flavouring the primary or secondary smoke of smoking articles such as cigarettes, cigars and similar articles as well as the mixture intended for smoking, for example in a pipe or in the form of a cigarette, by applying to the wrapping of these articles at least one solution of the flavouring or modifying substances which are transferred to the article in the vapour phase in the confined atmosphere of the packaging of these articles. According to the invention, a product which is nonvolatile at room temperature and has a vapour pressure less than that of the flavouring substance to be deposited is used as solvent.
