Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2007036814A2] Cigarettes are provided which contain a filtering system (180) and flavorants encapsulated with polyvinyl acetate (150), wherein deactivation of a sorbent by the flavorant is reduced through the encapsulation of the flavorant within the polyvinyl acetate. A preferred flavorant is menthol. The encapsulated flavorants are prepared by mixing at least one flavorant with polyvinyl acetate and a solvent, such as ethanol, and forming the encapsulated flavorants. Methods of making cigarettes and smoking the articles are also provided.
