Abstract
An inhaler article () includes a body extending along a longitudinal axis from a mouthpiece end () to a distal end (), a capsule cavity () defined within the body and a capsule disposed within the capsule cavity. The capsule cavity is bounded downstream by a filter element and bounded upstream and distally by a deformable element () the deformable element deforms to expose an open distal end and allow the inhaler article to receive swirling or rotational inhalation airflow during consumption.
