Aerosol-generating article including vaporizing substrate and aerosol-generating system using the same
An aerosol-generating article includes a sealed container; and a composition contained in the sealed container and including a tobacco material and a vaporizing agent, wherein the tobacco material includes an aerosol-generating material and tobacco leaves, and the vaporizing agent generates oxidizing heat when exposed to air such that an aerosol may be generated without a heating device or electric power.
1. An aerosol-generating article comprising:
a sealed container; and
a composition contained in the sealed container and comprising a tobacco material in an amount of 40 to 70 parts by weight and a vaporizing agent in an amount of 30 to 60 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the composition,
wherein the tobacco material includes an aerosol-generating material and tobacco leaves cut to a size of 10 mm or less, and the vaporizing agent is configured to generate oxidizing heat by reacting with oxygen in the air when exposed to air such that the tobacco material is heated.
2. The aerosol-generating article of claim 1 , wherein the sealed container comprises two or more vaporization chambers containing the composition and at least one intermediate chamber separating the two or more vaporization chambers from each other.
3. The aerosol-generating article of claim 1 , wherein the vaporizing agent includes at least one of iron powder, cast iron powder, water atomized iron powder, electrolytic iron powder, zinc (Zn), aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and tin (Sn).
4. The aerosol-generating article of claim 1 , wherein the vaporizing agent includes a compound represented by following Formula 1 or Formula 2:
C n H 2n+1 M 1 [Formula 1]
(C n H 2n+1 ) 2 M 2 [Formula 2]
wherein n is a positive number, M 1 is Li or Al, and M 2 is Mg, Sn, Zn, or Ga.
5. The aerosol-generating article of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises at least one of water, salts, a reaction catalyst, and a flavoring.
6. The aerosol-generating article of claim 1 , wherein the tobacco material comprises propylene glycol in an amount of 30 to 70 parts by weight, glycerin in an amount of 30 to 70 parts by weight, and the tobacco leaves in an amount of 0.1 to 5 parts by weight.
7. The aerosol-generating article of claim 1 , wherein the sealed container is filled with nitrogen (N 2 ).
8. An aerosol-generating system comprising:
the aerosol-generating article according to claim 1 ; and
a device including an accommodation space configured to accommodate the aerosol-generating article, a cover configured to cover the accommodation space, and a mouthpiece.
9. The aerosol-generating system of claim 8 , wherein the cover includes two or more holes through which air is introduced into the accommodation space from outside of the device.
