A smoking article (1) in which a patch of web material (7) such as paper containing an adsorbent material therein, such as activated carbon, is positioned towards the mouth end of the smoking article (1) to achieve a flatter puff profile compared to a conventional cigarette by decreasing the smoke constituents in the final few puffs. Characteristics of the smoking articles may be changed to increase the delivery of smoke constituents in the first few puffs in order to maintain a constant ISO NFDPM yield. The adsorbent-containing paper extends over only a portion of the smoking article towards the mouth end and does not comprise a flavorant therein.

1. A smoking article comprising a rod of smokable material, a wrapper circumscribing said rod of smokable material and a patch of web material, said patch of web material comprising an adsorbent material and being positioned towards a mouth end of the smoking article, wherein the patch of web material is formed of a sheet having a perimeter which extends over only a portion of about 10 -80% of the length of the rod of smokable material, and over at least a portion of the circumference of the rod of smokable material, such that the web material adsorbs smoke constituents from air drawn into the smoking article in a manner which provides the smoking article with a flatter puff profile that is able to deliver a similar level of smoke constituents in both the first and last puffs, wherein said patch of web material does not comprise a flavourant therein. 2. A smoking article according to claim 1, wherein said patch of web material is positioned between said rod of smokable material and said wrapper. 3. A smoking article according to claim 2, wherein said web material is adhered to an inner surface of said wrapper. 4. A smoking article according to claim 1, wherein the density of smokable material is constant along the length of the rod of smokable material. 5. A smoking article according to claim 1, wherein said web material is paper. 6. A smoking article according to claim 1, wherein said adsorbent material is activated carbon. 7. A smoking article according to claim 1, wherein said patch of web material is of a substantially rectangular, square, triangular, rhomboid or oval shape. 8. A smoking article according to claim 1, wherein the adsorbent material is present in an amount of less than 70% by weight of the web material. 9. A smoking article according to claim 8, wherein the adsorbent material is present in an amount of less than 50% by weight of the web material. 10. A smoking article according to claim 9 wherein the adsorbent material is present in an amount of 10-45% by weight of the web material. 11. A smoking article according to claim 10, wherein the adsorbent material is present in an amount of 30-45% by weight of the web material. 12. A smoking article according to claim 1, wherein said patch of web material comprises inorganic filler. 13. A smoking article according to claim 12, wherein said inorganic filler is calcium carbonate. 14. A smoking article according to claim 12, wherein the inorganic filler is present in an amount of less than 70% by weight of the web material. 15. A smoking article according to claim 14, wherein the inorganic filler is present in an amount of less than 50% by weight of the web material. 16. A smoking article according to claim 15, wherein the inorganic filler is present in an amount of 10-30% by weight of the web material. 17. A smoking article according to claim 1, wherein said patch of web material comprises an additive to control burn rate. 18. A smoking article according to claim 17, wherein said additive is a citrate. 19. A smoking article according to claim 17, wherein the burn rate additive is present in an amount of up to 5% by weight of the web material. 20. A smoking article according to claim 19, wherein the burn rate additive is present in an amount of up to 2% by weight of the web material. 21. A smoking article according to claim 20, wherein the burn rate additive is present in an amount of up to 0.1-2% by weight of the web material. 22. A smoking article according to claim 1, wherein said web material has a porosity greater than 50 CU. 23. A smoking article according to claim 1, comprising two patches of web material. 24. A smoking article according to claim 23, wherein said two patches of web material extend to differing amounts over the length of said rod of smokable material. 25. A smoking article according to claim 1, and further comprising a filter element. 26. A smoking article according to claim 25, wherein said filter element is ventilated. 27. A smoking article according to claim 26, wherein said filter element is ventilated to a level greater than 50%. 28. A smoking article comprising a rod of smokable material, a wrapper circumscribing said rod of smokable material and a patch of web material, said patch of web material comprising an adsorbent material and being positioned between said wrapper and said rod of smokable material towards a mouth end of said smoking article and extending over only a portion of about 10-80% of the length of said rod of smokable material, wherein said patch of web material does not comprise a flavourant therein, said smoking article having ventilation such that the smoke constituent levels are similar between the first and last puffs.
