PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a smoking method, a smoking device unit and a smoking device which can reduce a burnt smell during smoking and allows feeling aroma of an aromatic sufficiently.SOLUTION: A smoking method is based on heating a smoking agent by utilizing reaction heat of the reaction of an exothermic agent with water and comprises reacting the exothermic agent with water in the presence of an aromatic. A smoking device unit includes a smoking device 1 which consists of a heating part 30 packed with an exothermic agent generating heat by a hydration reaction and a to-be-heated part 40 packed with a smoking agent, connected together through a heat-transfer part 50, and heats the smoking agent by utilizing the reaction heat generated by the reaction of the exothermic agent with water and aromatic-containing water to be reacted with the exothermic agent.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】燻煙時の焦げ臭さを軽減でき、香料の香りを十分に感じられる燻煙方法、燻煙装置ユニット、および燻煙装置の提供。【解決手段】本発明の燻煙方法は、発熱剤と水との反応熱を利用して燻煙剤を加熱する燻煙方法において、香料の存在下で前記発熱剤と水とを反応させることよりなる。本発明の燻煙装置ユニットは、水和反応により発熱する発熱剤が充填された加熱部30と、燻煙剤が充填された被加熱部40とが伝熱部50を介して設けられ、前記発熱剤と水とを反応させ、その反応熱を利用して前記燻煙剤を加熱する燻煙装置1と、前記発熱剤と反応させる香料含有水と、を備える。【選択図】図1
