- the patches may be a combination of such bands and strips. Said combination of bands and strips may be located on the inner, outer or both surfaces of the second sheet material.
- each of the sheet materials may be the same or different in composition from any of the other sheet materials.
- the first sheet material may have a thickness from 5 to 500 ⁇ m, for example 10 to 300 ⁇ m or 20 to 60 ⁇ m. However, materials having a greater thickness may be used in some configurations, for example longitudinally extending strips.
- the first sheet material comprises one or more diluents.

- the one or more adsorbent material and/or diluent stabilising means may be selected from any suitable material as known to skilled workers. Examples include zeolite, sepiolite, clay, activated alumina, minerals, resins, silica gel and carbon.
- the adsorbent material and/or diluent stabilising means is carbon, such as activated carbon. Where activated carbon is used, the activation level can be measured by evaluating the percent carbon tetrachloride (CTC) as is known in the art. Briefly, carbon is weighed, exposed to CTC and then the weight of the carbon remeasured. The increase in weight of the carbon is calculated as a percentage.
- CTC percent carbon tetrachloride
- the activated carbon will preferably have a high activity and may have an activity of up to 180% CTC. More preferably the carbon has an activity of 40-160% CTC.

- the smoking material is a tobacco-containing material in combination with non-tobacco smoking material, or comprised solely of a tobacco material.
- the tobacco material comprises one or more of stem, lamina and tobacco dust.
- a tobacco material is one containing one or more of the following tobacco types: Virginia or flue-cured tobacco, Burley tobacco, Oriental tobacco, reconstituted tobacco, stem and modified tobacco.
- the smoking material comprises a blend of tobacco material or a blend of tobacco material and non-tobacco material.
- a central core may contain a different smokable material from that in the annular rod.
- the smoking article may additionally comprise a filter element located at one end of the smoking material rod.
- a filter element may, for example, comprise an adsorbent material.
- the filter element may be a multiple filter comprising multiple sections such as, for example, a dual or triple filter. Suitable filters are well known to those skilled in the art.
