SMOKING ARTICLE FOR USE WITH AN INTERNAL HEATING ELEMENT

摘要

A smoking article (10) for use in an aerosol generating device comprises an aerosol forming substrate (20) located at an extreme upstream end (80) of the smoking article; and a support element (30) located immediately downstream of the aerosol forming substrate (20). The support element (30) abuts the aerosol forming substrate (20) and the aerosol forming substrate (20) is configured to be penetrable by a heating element of an aerosol generating device having a diameter of between about 40 percent and about 70 percent of the diameter of the aerosol forming substrate without substantial deformation of the smoking article. The support element is configured to resist downstream movement of the aerosol forming substrate during insertion of the heating element of the aerosol generating device into the aerosol forming substrate.
