The aerosol-generating apparatus includes a first heater arranged on a portion corresponding to the medium part and configured to directly heat the medium part and indirectly heat the flavor unit by using heat transmitted through the wrapper, and a processor configured to control the first heater to make the aerosol-generating apparatus operate in a smoke-free mode in which no visible smoke is generated.
