APPARAT TIL AFGIVELSE AF AEROSOL VED HJAELP AF ELEKTRISK ENERGI

摘要

Aerosol delivery articles (10) employ an electrical resistance heating element (18) and an electrical power source (34) to provide an aerosol. The articles advantageously comprise a disposable portion (12) and a reusable controller (14). The disposable portion (12) normally includes a drug or flavor substance and an air permeable resistance heating element (18) having a surface area greater than 1 m<2>/g, which usually carries an aerosol forming substance. The reusable controller (14) normally includes a puff-actuated current actuation means (28), a time-based current regulating means (30) to control the temperature of the heating element (18), and a battery power supply (34).
