Zusammenfassung:A cigarette (9) provides tobacco flavor by heating tobacco (11), but not burning tobacco or any other material. A heat source (35) which includes granular magnesium, granular iron, and finely divided cellulose generates heat upon contact thereof with an aqueous solution of potassium chloride. The heat source is in a heat exchange relationship with the tobacco. Heat generated by the heat source heats tobacco in a controlled manner. Flavors volatilize from the tobacco and are drawn from the cigarette and into the mouth of the smoker. Typical heat sources heat the tobacco to a temperature within about 70C to about 180C for 4 to 8 minutes.
