Title: Cigarex the smokeless cigarette
Inventor: SALEM FATHY
IPC: A24F42/20
Filed: 2006-10-17
Abstract: This application claims priority and benefit from a cigarette that is smokeless and suitable as an anti-smoking aid and at the same time aids addicted smokers by allowing them to continue to smoke without the harmful side effects of regular toxic cigarette smoke. An alternative to smoking, this non-combustible cigarette (smokeless cigarette) is a device consisting of hollow tube of two parts. It consists of one filter cap with a screw in point to put in place with the cigarette barrel tube when joined together. The cavity between the mouth piece filter cap and the barrel of the cigarette tube embodies a three centimeter cartridge. The cartridge is punctured by two smaller sharp edged hollow tubes embedded in both parts of the cartridge through the filter cap and cigarette tube barrel. The cartridge's contents are then released to the smoker. The cartridge contains a porous felt plug saturated with nicotine and/or special evaporable flavored solutions with an aerosol agent to deliver time released dosages of flavored nicotine and/or non-nicotine to the smoker. The smokeless cigarette satisfies the oral habit of smoking and satisfies the urge for smoker's nicotine dependency without the health side effects and complies with today's anti-smoking restrictions put in place by governmentsaround the world. The smokeless cigarette renders the following results: 1. Helping to reduce the habit of smoking by replacing the habit through consumption of nicotine only. 2. To aid the quitting process to smokers who are ready to replace nicotine inhalation with harmless alternative evaporable solutions and flavors (non-nicotine containi ng cartridges).
