Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
This invention provides smoking compositions which contain a novel flavorant-release additive. Under cigarette smoking conditions a combustible, filler and/or paper wrapper additive such as a molecular inclusion complex of a .beta.-cyclodextrin derivative and vanillin releases vanillin as a volatile flavorant component of the cigarette smoke. The released vanillin flavorant improves the taste of the mainstream smoke and imparts a pleasant aroma to the sidestream smoke.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 13, 1992. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended March 13, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 13, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
