A generally cylindrical capsule holder is disposed in the holder accommodating section and formed with a capsule accommodating hole which opens at one end of the capsule holder. A capsule is to be disposed in the capsule accommodating hole. First and second pin insertion holes are formed in the capsule holder and the inhaling piece and respectively located to be connected with axially opposite sections of the capsule accommodating hole. Each pin insertion hole extends generally in a diametrical direction of the inhaling piece and the capsule holder. An air flow passage is axially formed at at least one of an inner peripheral surface of the inhaling piece and an outer peripheral surface of the capsule holder. The first and second pin insertion holes are communicated with each other through the air flow passage. Additionally, a perforator is provided having first and second pins which are to be inserted respectively into the first and second pin insertion holes to form holes in the capsule which holes are in communication with the air flow passage.
