A smokeless flavor inhalator includes a tobacco material as a flavor generator, and a heater for heating the tobacco material to allow flavor components to be released from the tobacco material while preventing smoke from being generated from the tobacco material. The heater has a carbon heat source and a cooling element. The carbon heat source and the cooling element cooperatively keep the heating temperature of the tobacco material at a temperature of 50 to 200&#xb0; C.

In an optical density checking apparatus, a 0.7-&mgr;m first light beam not transmitted through shredded leaf tobacco and a 1.3-&mgr;m second light beam transmitted through the shredded leaf tobacco, which are from first and second light sources, are synthesized, and an obtained synthetic light beam is applied to a tobacco rod. The projected light quantities, reflected light quantities, and passing light quantities of the first and second light beams are measured by a composite light-receiving element, projected light quantity control circuit, and arithmetic circuit. The arithmetic circuit calculates the transmitted light quantity of the second light beam transmitted through the shredded leaf tobacco on the basis of the projected light quantities, reflected light quantities, and passing light quantities of the first and second light beams, and calculates the density of the shredded leaf tobacco on the basis of the transmitted light quantity.
