The flavorant release composition comprises a continuous film of a homogenous dispersion of a liquid flavorant agent and polyvinyl acetate, in a weight ratio of the liquid flavorant agent to polyvinyl acetate of about 1:5 to about 5:1, respectively. A method of producing the flavorant release composition is also provided and includes admixing the polyvinyl acetate, which is dissolved is a volatile, nonreactive organic solvent, with the flavorant release agent at a temperature at which the flavorant release agent does not degrade, followed by solvent removal.
