  • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The following relates generally to processing plant-based material such as plants or plant components that are to be included in cigarettes or other smoking products, and more particularly to methods for removing or neutralizing certain contents of such plant-based material that are responsible for flavors and/or aromas.
  • BACKGROUND
  • It is well known that tobacco is dangerous for a person's health. Tobacco products have become heavily regulated to inform the public and discourage smoking of tobacco. However, smoking is still popular and the need for smoking alternatives is rising.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The invention is producing smoking alternatives that have no tobacco and no nicotine. This will provide smokers with an alternative that eliminates the dangers of smoking tobacco while satisfying the smoking habit they have become accustomed to over a period of time. The alternatives will have a taste and smokability of normal cigarettes without the dangers of tobacco and nicotine.
  • Other embodiments may produce other forms of smoking products. Other aspects and embodiments will become apparent upon reading the following description.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration a specific example in which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
  • General Overview:
  • It should be noted that the descriptions that follow, for example, in terms of processing plant material for use in smoking products are described for illustrative purposes and the underlying system can apply to any number and multiple types of plant materials. In one embodiment of the present invention, the processing plant material for use in smoking products can be configured using cigarettes. The processing plant material for use in smoking products can be configured to include processes for removing at least a portion of plant material terpenes and can be configured to include adding flavoring agents using the present invention.
  • Plant-Based Materials Smoking Materials
  • FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an overview of plant-based materials smoking materials of one embodiment. FIG. 1 shows selecting at least two non-addictive-nicotine non-tobacco plant-based materials, such as hemp 100, cocoa husks 102, hops 104, and taro leaves 106 for producing smoking products. The plant-based materials are treated 110 to decontaminant and reduce natural aromas. The treated plant-based materials are then rolled 112 on a flat surface 114 with a plurality of rollers 116 into flat sheet shaped rolls 118.
  • Next, the sheet shape is trimmed on the edges to a predetermined width 120 for biodegradable cigarette sticks 122 with biodegradable filters 123. Biodegradable filters 123 are made of organic materials that degrade when disposed of in a land fill or other suitable site and do not include any plastic and are a single use filter.
  • Another portion of the sheet shaped treated plant-based materials is then cut 130 to a leaf cut and shredded flakes 132 for cigarette filler material. Next, the cigarette filler material 140 is treated 142 with transformative ingredients 144, then dried 146 to imbue the plant-based materials with a tobacco taste emulation characteristic and sensory impression.
  • In one embodiment, the plant-based materials treatments can be analyzed at each step with sensors 113, 121, 147, 152, 154, 156, 158 that transmit results data to a control processor 159 for monitoring by a computer application. The finished products are smoking materials that contain no tobacco, no addictive nicotine, and no nitrosamines and are non-addictive yet have the taste and smokability of smoking a tobacco cigarette.
  • In another embodiment, a plant-based cigarette app 162 can be installed on a user's mobile digital device 172 that includes sensors 174, including physiological sensor wearable 176 sensors 177 worn by the user to manage the user's smoking habits and usage. The physiological sensor wearable 176 transmits 184 a user smoking data from the sensors 177 to the plant-based cigarette app 162. Also showing is a user hand 170 holding a lit plant-based cigarette 164. A plant-based cigarette app 162 installed on the user digital device 172 held in the user hand 170. In another embodiment, the plant-based cigarette app 162 can be used to determine if the smoke 182 detected contains chemicals indicating the presence of tobacco and nicotine. In another embodiment, the plant-based cigarette app 162 can be used to track 183 when, where and under what conditions the user is smoking to assist the user in controlling and stopping their tobacco smoking habit of one embodiment.
  • A Plant-Based Materials Smoking Materials Process
  • FIG. 2A shows a block diagram of an overview flow chart of a plant-based materials smoking materials process of one embodiment. FIG. 2A shows at least two non-addictive-nicotine non-tobacco plant-based materials for example hemp, cocoa husks, hops, and taro leaves for producing smoking products 200.
