Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material. The apparatus includes a magnetic field generator for generating a varying magnetic field; a body of heating material that is heatable by penetration with the varying magnetic field; a non-smokable thermally-conductive element in thermal contact with the body of heating material and arranged relative to the body of heating material so that heating of the heating material by penetration with the varying magnetic field causes progressive heating of the element; and a heating zone for receiving at least a portion of an article comprising smokable material. The heating zone is in thermal contact with the element and is arranged relative to the element so that the progressive heating causes progressive heating of the heating zone.
