Abstract
An aerosol generating article includes a wrapper, an aerosol generating substrate positioned in the wrapper to form a rod having a mouth end and a distal end upstream of the mouth end, and an airflow barrier positioned in the wrapper. The airflow barrier includes a deformable capsule which substantially prevents airflow from the distal end to the mouth end when in an undeformed state. The deformable capsule is deformable by a user into a deformed state which permits airflow from the distal end to the mouth end.
