Abstract:
A smoking article for use in an aerosol-generating device includes an aerosol-forming substrate located at an extreme upstream end of the smoking article; and a support element located immediately downstream of the aerosol-forming substrate. The support element abuts the aerosol-forming substrate and the aerosol-forming substrate is configured to be penetrable by a heating element of an aerosol-generating device having a diameter of between about 40 percent and about 70 percent of the diameter of the aerosol-forming substrate without substantial deformation of the smoking article. The support element is configured to resist downstream movement of the aerosol-forming substrate during insertion of the heating element of the aerosol-generating device into the aerosol-forming substrate.
Abstract:
A smoking article is provided, including a plurality of elements including a front-plug and an aerosol-forming substrate. A hole or slit is defined through the front-plug, through which a heating element may be inserted. In use, a heating element is inserted into the smoking article through the hole or slit and the aerosol-forming substrate is heated to generate an aerosol. When the heating element is subsequently withdrawn from the smoking article, the front-plug acts to retain the aerosol-forming substrate within the smoking article.

Abstract:
An aerosol-generating article is provided, including an aerosol-forming substrate; a support element located immediately downstream of the aerosol-forming substrate; an aerosol-cooling element located downstream of the support element; and an outer wrapper circumscribing the aerosol-forming substrate, the support element and the aerosol-cooling element. The support element abuts the aerosol-forming substrate. The aerosol-forming substrate is penetrable by a heating element of an aerosol-generating device.
Abstract:
An aerosol-generating article for an aerosol-generating device including a heating element is provided, the aerosol-generating article including: an aerosol-forming substrate including homogenised tobacco material; a support element disposed immediately downstream of the aerosol-forming substrate; an aerosol-cooling element disposed downstream of the support element; and an outer wrapper circumscribing the aerosol-forming substrate, the support element, and the aerosol-cooling element, the support element abutting the aerosol-forming substrate.
Abstract:
There is provided a smoking article that includes a plurality of elements, including a front-plug and an aerosol-forming substrate, assembled in contact with a cigarette paper to form a rod. The front-plug is located upstream from the aerosol-forming substrate. In use, a heating element is inserted into the smoking article and the aerosol-forming substrate is heated to generate an aerosol. When the heating element is subsequently withdrawn from the smoking article, the front-plug acts to retain the aerosol-forming substrate within the rod.

Abstract:
A smoking article for an aerosol-generating device is provided, including: an aerosol-forming substrate disposed at an extreme upstream end of the article; and a support element disposed immediately downstream of the substrate, the substrate including a gathered crimped sheet of homogenised tobacco material having a plurality of substantially parallel ridges or corrugations extending along or parallel to a longitudinal axis of the article, the tobacco material being penetrable by a heating element of the device having a diameter of between 40 percent and 70 percent of a diameter of the substrate without bending of the article by more than 7 degrees relative to the axis and without tearing or ripping of an outer wrapper of the article, and the support element abuts the substrate and is configured to resist downstream movement of the substrate during insertion of the heating element into the substrate.
