Summary:IMPACT MODIFYING AGENT FOR USE WITH SMOKING ARTICLES The present invention preferably relates to the use of an impact modifying agent and in particular the use of levulinic acid, a carbohydrate ester acetate or a carbohydrate ester levulinate in one or more of the component parts of a smoking article which article is capable of producing substantial quantities of aerosol, both initially and over the useful life of the product, without significant thermal degradation of the aerosol former and without the presence of substantial pyrolysis or incomplete combustion products or sidestream aerosol.
