Abstract

An article for use with a non-combustible aerosol provision device having a mouth end and a distal end opposite the mouth end, the article including a first section including a first aerosol generating material, the first aerosol generating material including tobacco; and a second section including a second aerosol generating material, the second aerosol generating material including an aerosol former material; wherein the second section is relatively closer to the distal end than the first section.

Claims (39)

1 . An article for use with a non-combustible aerosol provision device having a mouth end and a distal end opposite the mouth end, the article comprising:

a first section comprising a first aerosol generating material, the first aerosol generating material comprising tobacco; and

a second section comprising a second aerosol generating material, the second aerosol generating material comprising an aerosol former material;

wherein the second section is relatively closer to the distal end than the first section;

wherein a pressure drop across the first section is between 30% and 70% of a pressure drop across the complete article.

2 . The article according to claim 1 , wherein the aerosol former material comprises at least one of: glycerine, glycerol or propylene glycol.

3 . The article according to claim 1 , wherein the second section comprises an absorbent material laced with the aerosol generating material.

4 . The article according to claim 3 , wherein the absorbent material is a fibrous material.

5 . The article according to claim 4 , wherein the fibrous material comprises at least one of:

natural cotton; or

of viscose.

6 . The article according to claim 1 , wherein the second aerosol generating material comprises a gel.

7 . The article according to claim 1 , wherein the second aerosol generating material comprises nicotine.

8 . The article according to claim 1 , wherein the second section comprises a rod of braided absorbent material.

9 . The article according to claim 8 , wherein the rod of braided absorbent material comprises strands of material braided around an outside of the rod of absorbent material.

10 . The article according to claim 9 , wherein the absorbent material is doused with the aerosol former material.

11 . The article according to claim 9 , wherein the absorbent material is cotton.

12 . The article according to claim 9 , wherein at least one of the strands of material is a susceptor.

13 . The article according to claim 12 , wherein the susceptor is metal wire.

14 . The article according to claim 8 , further comprising a susceptor wrapped around the rod of braided absorbent material.

15 . The article of claim 14 , wherein the susceptor is an aluminum coated material.

16 . The article according to claim 1 , wherein the tobacco material comprises tobacco granules.

17 . The article according to claim 16 , wherein the tobacco granules comprise cut tobacco.

18 . The article according to claim 16 , wherein the tobacco granules comprise beads of tobacco.

19 . The article according to claim 1 , wherein the tobacco material comprises a tobacco paper.

20 . The article according to claim 19 , wherein the tobacco paper comprises longitudinal strips of tobacco paper, each longitudinal strip being arranged substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the article.

21 . The article according to claim 1 , wherein the first aerosol generating material comprises an aerosol-former material.

22 . The articled according to claim 21 , wherein the aerosol former material comprises at least one of: glycerine, glycerol or propylene glycol.

23 . The article according to claim 1 , wherein the article is a rod shaped article.

24 . The article according to claim 23 , wherein the article further comprises a filter section forming the mouth end of the article.

25 . The article according to claim 24 , wherein the filter section comprises a tubular body.

26 . The article according to claim 24 , wherein the filter section comprises a capsule.

27 . The Previously Presented article according to claim 1 , wherein the first section and the second section are combined by at least one wrapping material.

28 . The article according to claim 27 , wherein the at least one wrapping material comprises a susceptor.

29 . The article according to claim 28 , wherein the susceptor comprises aluminum foil.

30 . A system comprising:

the non-combustible aerosol provision device comprising a heater; and

the article according to claim 1 .

31 . A method of manufacturing an article according to claim 1 for use with a non-combustible aerosol provision device, the method comprising: forming a first aerosol generating material; dividing the first aerosol generating material into sections of first aerosol generating material; forming a second aerosol generating material; dividing the second aerosol generating material into sections of second aerosol generating material; and combining the sections of first aerosol generating material with the sections second aerosol generating material.
