"The idea was to heat the tobacco rather than burn it, thus avoiding the process that creates most of the hazardous substances in tobacco smoke. The Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation, a subsidiary of the London-based British-American Tobacco PLC, put the idea to the test in a cigarette, code-named Ariel, according internal company documents obtained by The New York Times. The prototype was granted a patent in 1966 but was never marketed."
