Abstract
Apparatus for moistening a cigarette, particularly a filter tip cigarette, prior to smoking. The apparatus preferably includes a button mounted on the stem of an aerosol cartridge. The button has a cigarette-receiving bore arranged so that a cigarette received in the bore extends transverse to the axis of the cartridge. The button may also have a nozzle recessed in an end wall of the bore so that liquid discharged through the nozzle spreads transverse to the axis of the cigarette in a chamber defined by the end of the filter and the end wall of the bore. The button desirably is arranged to engage the stem of a stem-actuated aerosol cartridge or similar dispenser to mount the button on the dispenser and to hold the button in the desired orientation relative to the dispenser. In an alternative arrangement, the button has a hollow needle disposed within the cigarette-receiving bore and arranged to impale a cigarette engaged in the bore. The interior of the hollow needle is connected to the aerosol cartridge.
