The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
The inventor claims:
1. A cigarette substitute device for reducing smoking by a user, comprising:
a generally tubular body having a passage therethrough and being adapted for placement in the mouth of a user for drawing air into the mouth of the user,
said body being sized and configurated to generally simulate the size and configuration of an individual cigarette,
said body having an outer end and an inner end for engagement with the mouth of a user, and
said body material being adapted to provide at least one of (a) a predetermined taste, (b) a predetermined fragrance, (c) both a predetermined taste and predetermined fragrance, (d) an antacid, upon being dissolved in the mouth of a user.
2. A device according to claim 1, and further comprising:
a tubular handle disposed about the body adjacent to said inner end thereof for grasping by the fingers of the user to manipulate the device and avoid material adhering to the fingers of the user.
3. A device according to claim 1, and further comprising:
a tube disposed about said body adjacent to said outer end for grasping by fingers of the user to urge the body toward the mouth of a user to provide progressively successive portions of the material to the mouth of the user.
4. A device according to claim 1, wherein:
said body material is adapted to provide one of (a) a flavor, (b) a fragrance, (c) a flavor and a fragrance, (d) an antacid, whereby psychological benefits are derived.
5. A device according to claim 2, wherein:
said body material is adapted to provide one of (a) a flavor, (b) a fragrance, (c) a flavor and a fragrance, whereby psychological benefits are derived.
6. A device according to claim 3, wherein:
said body material is adapted to provide one of (a) a flavor, (b) a fragrance, (c) a flavor and a fragrance, whereby psychological benefits are derived.
7. A device according to claim 1, and further comprising:
a plastic sheet cover material disposed about a substantial portion of the device and removable by a user, said cover providing for sanitary handling and prevention of adherence of material to the fingers of a user.
8. A cigarette substitute device for reducing smoking by a user, comprising:
a generally tubular body having a passage therethrough and being adapted for placement in the mouth of a user for drawing air into the mouth of the user,
