Abstract

A smoking device includes a heating chamber for heating a tobacco consumable and a storage portion for storing the tobacco consumable. The storage portion is resealable. In some embodiments, the smoking device is elongate and the storage portion includes a resealable closure situated at or toward an end of the device. Also provided is a smoking kit including the smoking device and a tobacco consumable.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A smoking device comprising a heating chamber for heating a tobacco consumable and a storage portion for storing the tobacco consumable, wherein the storage portion includes a resealable closure through which the tobacco consumable is configured to be loaded into the storage portion or unloaded from the storage portion.

2. The smoking device according to claim 1 , wherein the smoking device is elongate and the resealable closure of the storage portion is situated at or toward an end of the device.

3. A smoking device comprising a mouthpiece disposed at a first end of the smoking device, a heating chamber for heating a tobacco consumable and a storage portion for storing the tobacco consumable, wherein the storage portion includes a resealable closure through which the tobacco consumable is configured to be loaded into the storage portion or unloaded from the storage portion, and wherein the heating chamber includes an opening for loading the tobacco consumable into the heating chamber, the opening spaced from the mouthpiece along a housing of the smoking device.

4. The smoking device according to claim 1 , wherein the separator is moveable.

5. The smoking device according to claim wherein the storage portion is elongate and the separator is moveable in a longitudinal direction. of the storage portion to alter a volume of the at least first and second storage portions.

6. The smoking device according to claim 1 , wherein both of the at least first and second storage portions comprise a resealable closure, the resealable closure of the first storage portion being at or toward a first end of the device and the resealable closure of the second storage portion being at or toward a second end of the device.

7. The smoking device according to claim 1 , wherein the resealable closure is rotatably connected to the storage portion such that the resealable closure has an open position and a closed position.

8. A smoking device comprising a heating chamber for heating a tobacco consumable and a storage portion for storing the tobacco consumable, wherein the storage portion includes a resealable closure through which the tobacco consumable is configured to be loaded into the storage portion or unloaded from the storage portion wherein the heating chamber comprises a closure, the closure including an air inlet configured to allow air to enter the heating chamber therethrough during inhalation.

9. The smoking device according to claim 1 , wherein the heating chamber comprises an opening and a closure associated therewith.

10. The smoking device according to claim 9 , wherein the smoking device is elongate and the resealable closure of the storage portion is situated at or toward an end of the device, and the opening of the heating chamber is situated at or toward the same end of the device as the resealable closure of the storage portion.

11. The smoking device according to claim 1 , wherein the storage portion is detachable from the smoking device.

12. The smoking device according to claim 1 , wherein a capacity of the storage portion is the same or greater than a capacity of the heating chamber.

13. The smoking device according to claim 1 , further comprising a transfer mechanism to transfer, in use, the tobacco consumable from the storage portion to the heating chamber.

14. The smoking device according to claim 13 , wherein the transfer mechanism transfers, in use, the tobacco consumable from the storage portion to the heating chamber upon measurement of a predetermined parameter associated with the smoking device.

15. A smoking kit comprising the smoking device according to claim 1 and a tobacco consumable.

16. The smoking device according to claim 6 , wherein the heating chamber comprises an opening and a closure associated therewith, and the opening of the heating chamber is situated at or toward the first end of the device.

17. The smoking device according to claim 9 , wherein the heating chamber opening and the resealable closure of the storage portion are positioned along an outer housing of the smoking device, the heating chamber opening and the resealable closure being spaced apart from one another along the housing.
