Vaporized tobacco product and methods of use

Abstract

In one embodiment of the present invention a method for tobacco delivery is provided comprising: providing tobacco; providing a first solution; contacting the tobacco with the first solution to form a tobacco solution comprising tobacco constituents; and vaporizing the tobacco solution. In other aspects of this embodiment the step of vaporizing the tobacco solution comprises using a low temperature vaporization element to vaporize the tobacco and the tobacco constituents comprise nicotine and at least one monoamine oxidase inhibitor derived from tobacco.

1 . A method for tobacco delivery comprising:
 providing tobacco;   providing a first solution;   contacting the tobacco with the first solution to form a tobacco solution comprising tobacco constituents; and   vaporizing the tobacco solution.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the first solution comprises an inert non-reactive compound. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2  where the inert non-reactive compound comprises propylene glycol. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3  wherein the first solution further comprises water, alcohol and glycerin. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the step of vaporizing the tobacco solution comprises low temperature vaporization of the tobacco solution. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the tobacco constituents comprise nicotine and at least one monoamine oxidase inhibitor derived from tobacco. 
     
     
         7 . A device for tobacco delivery comprising:
 a first solution reservoir comprising a first solution;   tobacco;   a vaporization mechanism,   wherein the solution is contacted with the tobacco to form a tobacco solution comprising tobacco constituents, and wherein the tobacco solution is then provided to the vaporization mechanism.   
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7  where the vaporization mechanism comprises low temperature vaporization of the tobacco solution. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8  wherein the tobacco constituents comprise nicotine and at least one monoamine oxidase inhibitor derived from tobacco. 
     
     
         10 . A tobacco solution prepared by a process comprising the steps of:
 providing tobacco;   providing a first solution comprising water, alcohol, and propylene glycol;   contacting the first solution with the tobacco to form a tobacco solution comprising tobacco constituents.   
     
     
         11 . The tobacco solution of  claim 10  wherein the step of contacting the first solution with the tobacco to form a tobacco solution comprises immersing the tobacco in the first solution for a time sufficient to extract the tobacco constituents from the tobacco. 
     
     
         12 . The tobacco solution of  claim 10  wherein the tobacco constituents comprise nicotine and at least one monoamine oxidase inhibitor derived from tobacco. 
     
     
         13 . A tobacco solution for use in a vaporization delivery mechanism comprising:
 water;   alcohol;   propylene glycol;   glycerin, and   tobacco constituents.   
     
     
         14 . The tobacco solution of  claim 13  wherein the tobacco constituents comprise nicotine and at least one monoamine oxidase inhibitor derived from tobacco. 
     
     
         15 . The tobacco solution of  claim 14  wherein the tobacco constituents are derived by contacting the water, alcohol, propylene glycol and glycerin with tobacco. 
     
     
         16 . A device for tobacco delivery comprising:
 the tobacco solution of  claim 13 ,   a vaporization mechanism.   
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 16  where the vaporization mechanism comprises a low temperature vaporization element to vaporize the tobacco solution. 
     
     
         18 . A disposable cartridge for use in a tobacco delivery device comprising:
 a solution reservoir comprising a solution; and   tobacco.   
     
     
         19 . The disposable cartridge of  claim 18  where the tobacco comprises a mesh screen. 
     
     
         20 . The disposable cartridge of  claim 18  wherein the tobacco comprises tobacco encapsulated in a porous filter.
