AEROSOL-GENERATING ARTICLE HAVING A PLURALITY OF STRANDS OF AEROSOL-GENERATING MATERIAL

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an aerosol-generating article (1, 2, 3, 4) for producing an aerosol upon heating. The aerosol-generating article (1, 2, 3, 4) comprises an aerosol-generating section (12). The aerosol-generating section (12) comprises an aerosol-generating substrate comprising a plurality of strands of aerosol-generating material. The aerosol-generating article (1, 2, 3, 4) comprises a downstream section (14) located downstream of the aerosol-generating section (12), where the downstream section (14) comprises a support element (20) having an upstream end abutting the aerosol-generating section (12). The support element (20) comprises an opening (21, 23) at an end of the support element (20). A ratio of a width of the opening (21, 23) to an average width of the plurality of strands of aerosol-generating material may be less than or equal to about 20. The aerosol-generating article (1, 2, 3, 4) also comprises an upstream section (32) located upstream of the aerosol-generating section, where the upstream section (32) comprises an upstream element (34) having a downstream end abutting the aerosol-generating section (12).
