An electrically heatable aerosol-generating article is provided, including an aerosol-generating substrate including at least one aerosol former; a mouthpiece; and a paper wrapper circumscribing at least a portion of the aerosol-generating substrate, the paper wrapper having a wet tensile strength of at least 5 Newtons per 15 millimeters when measured in accordance with the Wet Tensile Strength Test.

Paper wrapper for an electrically heated aerosol-generating article

An aerosol-generating article is provided, including: a plurality of elements assembled in the form of a rod having a mouth end and a distal end upstream from the mouth end, the plurality of elements including an aerosol-forming substrate with an elongate susceptor arranged longitudinally within the aerosol-forming substrate, a plug element being located upstream of and adjacent the aerosol-forming substrate within the rod, the plug element preventing direct physical contact with a distal end of the elongate susceptor arranged longitudinally within the aerosol-forming substrate.

Aerosol-generating article

An extractor for extracting an aerosol-forming substrate from an aerosol-generating device is provided, the extractor including: a first component configured to connect to the aerosol-generating device, the first component including a base and one or more side walls extending from the base to define a cavity configured to receive an aerosol-forming substrate; and a second component configured to connect to the first component, the second component defining a cylindrical cavity or a circular aperture configured to receive a mouthpiece article for the aerosol-generating device. An aerosol-generating device comprising the extractor, and a system comprising the extractor, are also provided.

Extractor for an aerosol-generating device

An electrically heated aerosol-generating article is provided, including an aerosol-generating substrate including at least one aerosol former in an amount of between 5 percent and 30 percent by weight of the aerosol-generating substrate; a mouthpiece; and a paper wrapper circumscribing at least a portion of the aerosol-generating substrate, the paper wrapper having a wet tensile strength of at least 5 Newtons per 15 millimeters when measured in accordance with the Wet Tensile Strength Test.

The aerosol-generating article () comprises a tobacco element and a mouthpiece element. The tobacco element comprises an aerosol-forming substrate (), a support element () arranged downstream of the aerosol-forming substrate () and an aerosol-cooling element () arranged downstream of the support element. The mouthpiece element comprises a filter segment () and a hollow tube (). The aerosol-cooling element () has a length of at most 15 millimeter. A length of the mouthpiece element is adapted according to the length of the aerosol-cooling element () such that a total length of the aerosol-generating article () is kept at a predefined total length. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing aerosol-generating articles.

Aerosol-generating article and method for manufacturing aerosol-generating articles

The aerosol-generating article () comprises a plurality of elements assembled in the form of a rod having a mouth end () and a distal end () upstream from the mouth end. The plurality of elements comprises an aerosol-forming substrate () with an elongate susceptor () arranged longitudinally within the aerosol-forming substrate. A plug element () is located upstream of and adjacent the aerosol-forming substrate within the rod. The plug element () thereby prevents direct physical contact with a distal end of the elongate susceptor () arranged longitudinally within the aerosol-forming substrate ().

The aerosol-generating article () comprises a plurality of segments assembled in the form of a rod (). The plurality of segments includes an aerosol-forming substrate () and a mouthpiece filter () located downstream from the aerosol-forming substrate () within the rod (). The aerosol-generating article () further comprises activated carbon () disposed between the aerosol-forming substrate () and the mouthpiece filter () within the rod ().

Aerosol-generating article and low resistance support element for use as segment in an aerosol-generating article

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, the heating element including 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 that of the second portion, the first portion of the heating element being disposed on a heating area of the heater substrate and the second portion of the heating element being disposed on a holding area of the heater substrate, the heater mount being fixed to the holding area of the heater substrate, and the second portion of the heating element being longer than the first portion of the heating element.

Extended heater and heating assembly for an aerosol generating system

A smoking article () includes a tobacco substrate () comprising at least 15% humectant and a hydrophobic paper wrapper () disposed about the tobacco substrate. The paper wrapper () is hydrophobic due to hydrophobic groups covalently bonded to the paper.

Hydrophobic wrapper

An electrically heated aerosol-generating article is provided, including an aerosol-generating substrate including at least one aerosol former in an amount of between 5 percent and 30 percent by weight of the aerosol-generating substrate; a mouthpiece; and a paper wrapper circumscribing at least a portion of the aerosol-generating substrate, the paper wrapper having a wet tensile strength of at least 5 Newtons per 15 millimeters when measured in accordance with the Wet Tensile Strength Test using a 1:1 mixture of water and glycerine.
