Claim 1
Independent Claim
86 words
A process for the addition of a solid particulate component into a smokeless inhalable aerosol, which comprises the steps of providing a smokeless inhalable aerosol having nicotine as an active component; and introducing a solid particulate component into said smokeless inhalable aerosol with said nicotine being carried by the particulate component, in which the particle size of said solid particulate component is sufficiently fine to negotiate entry and deposition into the alveoli of the lungs and closely matches the optimum size range of non-exhaled smoke particles.
