Abstract (en)
A smoking article (110) comprises a rod (12) of smokable material in axial alignment with a liquid release device (118) the rod, the device comprising: a stationary porous element (20) fixed with respect to the rod; a mobile porous element (22) axially aligned with and axially movable relative to the stationary porous element (20); and at least one frangible capsule (34) of liquid retained between the elements, whereby axial movement of the mobile element from a first position in which the capsule is intact toward the stationary element to a second position causes the capsule to rupture and release the liquid into the porous elements. The invention encompasses a liquid release device and a smoking article incorporating the liquid release device.
