摘要

Disclosed are new fuel components for smoking articles such as cigarettes, new methods of making such fuel components, and cigarettes or other smoking articles incorporating the new fuel components. Fuel components for smoking articles are formed by continuously extruding a composition to form a preselected shape, circumscribing the continuously extruded composition with a layer of material to form a wrapped rod or composite member, preferably bonding the fuel element to the layer of material, and cutting the resulting composite member into predetermined lengths for use in assembling smoking articles.
