An aerosol-generating smoking device, is provided, including: a heater configured to heat an aerosol-forming substrate, the heater including an electrically resistive heating element and a heater substrate, the electrically resistive heating element including a first portion formed from a first material and a second portion formed from a second material different than the first material, configured such that, when an electrical current is passed through the electrically resistive heating element, the first portion is heated to a higher temperature than the second portion as a result of the electrical current.

Heating assembly for an aerosol generating system

A rod is provided, formed from a first sheet including a tobacco material and a second sheet including a non-tobacco flavourant, the first and second sheets being gathered together and circumscribed by a wrapper. The rod may be used as a component part of an aerosol-generating article.

Flavoured rods for use in aerosol-generating articles

A heating assembly for heating an aerosol-forming substrate is provided, including: a heater including an electrically resistive heating element and a heater substrate; and a heater mount coupled to the heater; wherein the heating element includes a first portion and a second portion configured such that, when an electrical current is passed through the heating element, the first portion is heated to a higher temperature than the second portion as a result of the electrical current; and wherein the heater mount surrounds the second portion of the heating element.

A rod is provided, formed from a first sheet including an aerosol-forming material and a second sheet including a non-tobacco material, the first and second sheets being gathered together and circumscribed by a wrapper. The rod may be used as a component part of an aerosol-generating article. The second sheet preferably includes a material configured to modify an aerosol evolved from the aerosol-forming material or to modify other properties of the rod.
