If the diameter of the capsule is too small, problems may arise; for example, the amount of the flavorant applied to the cigarette may be reduced, thereby reducing the feeling of satisfaction that can be imparted by the flavorant; and it may be difficult to find the presence of the capsule, when the smoker breaks the capsule.
  • the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the capsule to the cross-sectional area of the filter body is increased, so that the ventilation resistance of the filter portion when the capsule is not crushed becomes too large, causing the smoker to feel difficulty in inhaling.

  • the fibers constituting the filter portion 15 extend in the axial direction (the direction of the central axis C) of the filter portion 15. Therefore, when an external force is applied to a capsule member, in some rare cases, the capsule member may move to be displaced along the direction in which the fibers extend. However, since such an event occurs very rarely, it was almost impossible for the manufacturer to recognize the event as a problem. According to the above configuration, by fixing the capsule member 23 to the filter body 17 with the adhesive 24, the capsule member 23 can be prevented from being out of position within the filter portion 15. As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the capsule member 23 moves to be displaced and cannot be easily crushed, thereby improving the convenience of the user.
  • the adhesive 24 is a thermoplastic resin. According to this configuration, since the resin is completely solidified when the product is shipped, it is possible to prevent the capsule member 23 from moving in the filter portion 15, thereby realizing a smoking article in which the capsule member 23 can be easily crushed. Further, since moisture does not come out from the adhesive 24 at the time of solidification, the capsule member 23 can be prevented from being weakened by water.

  • the capsule member 23 is positioned on or near the central axis C of the filter portion 15, and the adhesive 24 linearly extends along the central axis C on or near the central axis C of the filter portion 15. According to this configuration, even when the position of the capsule member 23 is out of position with respect to the direction of the central axis C due to manufacturing variations, since the adhesive 24 extends linearly along the central axis C, a slight displacement of the capsule member 23 can be allowed, and the capsule member 23 can be reliably fixed to the filter portion 15.
  • the capsule member 23 is positioned on or near the central axis C of the filter portion 15, and a part of the adhesive 24 is positioned in a projected section in the direction of the central axis C of the capsule member 23. According to this configuration, the adhesive 24 can be disposed at a position overlapping the capsule member 23. As a result, the adhesive 24 is not applied to a position away from the capsule member 23. Thus, it is possible to prevent such a problem wherein the adhesion between the capsule member 23 and the filter portion 15 is not successful.
  • the adhesive 24 includes a flavorant. According to this configuration, since the flavorant can be contained in the adhesive 24, it is not necessary to separately provide cotton yarn or the like containing the flavorant in the filter portion 15. As a result, various flavors can be added to the mainstream smoke, and the degree of freedom can be improved at the time of product design. Furthermore, the manufacturing process can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be reduced as compared with the case of separately providing cotton yarn or the like containing the flavorant.
  • the adhesive 24 includes a pigment. According to this configuration, the adhesive 24 can be colored, and the portion where the adhesive 24 is solidified can be decorated. Generally, the color of the portion coated with the adhesive 24 in the filter portion 15 is not substantially different from the color of the portion not coated with the adhesive 24 in the filter portion 15. The portion of the filter portion 15 to which the adhesive 24 is applied is merely harder than the other portions. According to the above configuration, it is possible to positively contribute to the improvement of the appearance at the place where the adhesive 24 is applied, so that the freedom of the smoking article design can be improved.
  • the capsule member 23 is positioned at a distance shorter than 15 mm or 10 mm from the mouthpiece end 26 of the filter portion 15 in the direction of the center axis C toward the aerosol generating rod 14. According to this configuration, it is possible to place the capsule member 23 near the mouthpiece end 26, and the flavorant can be put on the mainstream smoke at a position close to the mouth of the user. Thus, the capsule member 23 can be arranged at a position where the flavorant can be delivered to the user's oral cavity most efficiently. Further, in the present embodiment, the capsule member 23 and the filter portion 15 are bonded by the adhesive 24. Therefore, even in the arrangement mentioned above, it is possible to prevent the capsule member 23 from falling off the filter portion 15.
