ABSTRACT:
A cigarette substitute assembly has the appearance of cigarette in a cigarette holder. The assembly includes a plain hollow cylindrical tube, with a mouthpiece at one end, and a plastic member at the other end which resembles the ashes on a cigarette. The assembly also includes a cartridge which may be formed of porous material in a cylindrical shape and impregnated with an aromatic substance which may include menthol, to give a pleasant smell and taste simulating inhaling a mild methol type cigarette, when the cartridge is mounted in the assembly and air is drawn through it. A silver-colored washer may be located between the mouthpiece and the end of the white plastic tube. The two end members have inwardly extending fingers which taper slightly to make a tight fit when they are assembled with the central tube, and to grip and enclose the aromatic cartridge. The fingers may be provided with retaining protrusions to more securely hold the filter element in place, and each of these end members are provided with longitudinal passageways so that air may be drawn through the entire assembly. One end of the aromatic cartridge is therefore securely held by one of the end members; and is desired, a resilient metal or plastic element, such as a coil spring of varying diameter, may be provided to hold the other end of the aromatic cartridge centrally within the central plastic tube.
