Claim Text:
1. A breathing and aroma delivery apparatus comprising: a first compartment, a second compartment, and a third compartment; a mouthpiece, said mouthpiece being attached to the first compartment and forming an air outlet adapted for allowing a user to draw air through an end of the mouthpiece; and a driving link located between the first and second compartments, the driving link creating a mechanical coupling between the first and second compartments; wherein the driving link is separated by a partition that prevents mixing of gases between the first and second compartments; wherein said first compartment comprises: an air extractor, said air extractor comprising a center axle with fan blades that extend in a perpendicular direction from the center axle, the center axle extending in a longitudinal direction within the first compartment; a funnel and an external air channel, said funnel and said external air channel concentrating ambient air when propelled from the air extractor through the mouthpiece and the air outlet; and one or more air inward ventilation holes located upstream of the air extractor and in communication with atmosphere; wherein said second compartment comprises: an active substance extractor, said active substance extractor extracting an active substance transported by air, said active substance extractor comprising a center axle with fan blades extending in a perpendicular direction from the center axle, the center axle extending in a longitudinal direction within the second compartment; a funnel, an external air channel, and an outlet nozzle, said funnel, said external air channel, and said outlet nozzle concentrating and propelling the active substance from the active substance extractor to outside of the device, the outlet nozzle being adapted to direct the active substance into a user's nostrils; wherein said third compartment comprises: a holder for holding the active substance, the active substance capable of being transported by air and becoming volatile when exposed to the atmosphere; inward ventilating holes, said inward ventilating holes being upstream of the active substance and connecting the third compartment with the atmosphere to allow air to be drawn into the third compartment and over the active substance; and a permeable membrane, said membrane allowing the active substance to be drawn from the third compartment and into the second compartment; and wherein when the user inhales through the mouthpiece, the air extractor rotates, causing the active substance extractor to rotate via the driving link, which propels active substance into the user's nostrils while the user inhales ambient air through the air outlet of the mouthpiece.
