An aerosol delivery device and an aerosol source member for use with an inductive heating aerosol delivery device are provided. The aerosol delivery device comprises a control body having a housing, a resonant transmitter located in the control body, a control component configured to drive the resonant transmitter, and an aerosol source member that includes a substrate portion at least a portion of which is configured to be positioned within range of a field emitted by the resonant transmitter. The substrate portion may include a substrate material and one or more separators, the one or more separators may be configured to separate the substrate material into a plurality of separate substrate segments, and the one or more separators may comprise susceptors configured to be heated by the resonant transmitter.

The present disclosure provides an aerosol generating component containing a substrate impregnated with one or more aerosol forming materials, the substrate including a cellulosic material substantially free of sulfur compounds, and further including one or more of a tobacco pulp, an aqueous tobacco extract, a filler, and a binder. Further provided is an aerosol delivery device including the aerosol generating component. Such devices utilize electrically generated heat or combustible ignition sources to heat the aerosol forming materials, providing an inhalable substance in the form of an aerosol.

The invention provides an article, such as an aerosol-generating smoking article that does not combust tobacco, that includes a tobacco rod and a filter element connected to the tobacco rod, the filter element having an end proximal to the tobacco rod and an end distal from the tobacco rod, wherein the filter element includes a first section of filter material and a second section of filter material, and further includes a smoke-altering flavorant.

Multi-segment filter element including smoke-altering flavorant

The present invention provides a conductive substrate useful for Joule heating, such as in an electronic smoking article. Particularly, the invention provides a resistive heating element formed of a conductive substrate. The conductive substrate comprises an electrically conductive material and a carbonaceous additive, such as a binder material. The conductive substrate is carbonized in that it is subjected to calcining conditions to effectively reduce the carbonaceous additive to its carbon skeleton. It has been found that such carbonized substrate has surprisingly improved resistance properties in relation a substrate of the same formulation that is not carbonized. The carbonized substrate can include an aerosol precursor material. The formed resistive heating element can be included in an electronic smoking article to simultaneously provide resistive heating and aerosol formation with a single, unitary component.

Smoking article incorporating a conductive substrate

The invention provides a cigarette with a filter element comprising at least one longitudinally extending section of filter material. The section of filter material comprises a smoke-altering material therein that is useful for removing a quantity of vapor phase chemicals from the mainstream smoke. The section of filter material further comprises one or more tubes inserted into and extending through section of filter material. The one or more tubes each define a channel adapted for passage of mainstream smoke through the section of filter material while substantially avoiding contact of the portion of mainstream smoke therein with the smoke-altering material. The provision of a portion of mainstream smoke substantially unaltered by the smoke-altering material can be useful to retain certain desirable taste and other sensory properties of the mainstream smoke.
