1. A method for manufacturing a smoke-free cigarette, comprising the following steps:
- providing a thermal unit,heating crystallizable medium to a temperature of at least 50°
C. at which the crystallizable medium at least partly goes into solution, before being filled into the thermal unit,then filling the thermal unit with the solution,providing a nicotine reservoir,providing a mouthpiece, andarranging the mouthpiece, the nicotine reservoir and the thermal unit in a common outer envelope comprising three layers in the following order,an outermost layer including paper and having optical properties of a conventional cigarette,an intermediate layer being a desorption barrier including metal and configured to prevent or restrict desorption of nicotine and/or flavoring agents, andan innermost layer stabilizing layer including plastic and configured to provide the cigarette with mechanical stability.
