Abstract
A cigarette-simulating inhaler including a fluid-impermeable resiliently flexible outer tubular sheath open at both ends and containing a wick extending longitudinally within the sheath in one end thereof and a soft puncturable liquid-containing capsule in the other end thereof, the wick and capsule being separated from each other and forming an air chamber between them. The inhaler is activated by puncturing the end of the capsule nearer to the wick and then pinching the outer sheath at the location of the capsule in order to squirt the liquid into the air chamber prior to being absorbed by the wick. The empty capsule is then discarded.
