Abstract
A smoking article includes a mouth end portion in fluid communication with an aerosol generating cartridge. The cartridge includes an enclosure configured to receive an aerosol precursor therein, with the aerosol precursor being configured to generate an aerosol in response to heat. At least a portion of the enclosure is permeable such that the aerosol precursor is retained within the enclosure while the aerosol formed from the aerosol precursor is released from the enclosure through the permeable portion upon heating of the enclosure or the aerosol precursor therein.
