Abstract

A method and device influences the flavor and smell of a cigarette while smoking by injecting additives into the cigarette, at the filter side or the tobacco side, using a device specially configured for this purpose. The user controls the cigarette taste, intensity of taste, and the smell by choosing the liquid material and quantity to be injected into the cigarette before or while smoking. The device and method improve the experience of smoking of any desired cigarette.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of adapting flavor and taste of a cigarette to a preference of a smoker before or while smoking the cigarette, by using a device to insert an additive material into the cigarette. 
     
     
         2 . The method cording to  claim 1 , which comprises injecting additive material into the cigarette at a filter side of the cigarette. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , which comprises injecting additive material into the cigarette at a tobacco side of the cigarette. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the additive material is inserted by penetrating the cigarette with a nozzle and injecting the additive material into the cigarette, whereafter the additives material can be inhaled by the smoker together with the tobacco smoke. 
     
     
         5 . A device specially designed to insert material into a cigarette for adapting the taste of said cigarette to a specific desired taste. 
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 5 , wherein said device is adapted to be attached to a cigarette package. 
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 5 , further comprising a lighter formed in one unit in said device. 
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 7 , wherein said device is adapted to be attached to a cigarette package. 
     
     
         9 . The device according to  claim 5 , comprising:
 a flavor material container for storing flavor material; and   a penetrating nozzle, said penetrating nozzle being adapted to be inserted into the cigarette and injecting the flavor material from said flavor material container into the cigarette.   
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 9 , adapted such that the flavor material injection is activated by pressing the flavor material container. 
     
     
         11 . The device according to  claim 9 , further comprising a button, wherein the device is adapted such that the flavor material injection is activated by pushing the button. 
     
     
         12 . The device according to  claim 11 , wherein said button is located on a back side of the device, said back side of said device facing away from the cigarette to be flavored. 
     
     
         13 . The device according to  claim 11 , wherein said button is connected to a flexible diaphragm or a piston that is adapted to pressurize flavor liquid within the flavor material container when the button is pushed. 
     
     
         14 . The device according to  claim 13 , wherein the flexible diaphragm or piston is located within the flavor material container.
