Abstract
An aerosol inhalator has an aerosol generation passage extending from an ambient air inlet () to a mouthpiece (), a liquid supply device () for feeding a predetermined amount of a solution to a feed position (A) in the passage (), a ceramic heater () for heating the solution conveyed from the feed position (A) toward the mouthpiece () with a drawn-in flow of air created in the passage () by a user's sucking action, thereby causing the solution to evaporate and turn into an aerosol in the passage (), and a protector provided at least either at a location near the feed position (A) or at a location between the feed position (A) and the liquid supply device (), the protector having at least one of a radiation cover (), a cooling device () and an open-close valve ().
