Smoking articles are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a smoking article includes a heat source configured to generate heat upon ignition thereof, a first substrate material having an aerosol precursor composition associated therewith and a first end being fixedly engaged with the heat source, and an aerosol delivery component having opposed first and second ends, the first end of the aerosol delivery component being engaged with the second end of the first substrate material. In some aspects, the aerosol delivery component includes a second substrate material having the aerosol precursor composition associated therewith and being disposed about the first end of the aerosol delivery component and a tobacco material disposed between the second substrate material and the mouthpiece, the aerosol precursor composition associated with the first and second substrate materials being configured to produce an aerosol in response to the heat generated by the ignited heat source.

A cartomizer of an electronic vaping device includes a heater circuit which is located adjacent an air passage thereof. The heater circuit includes an electrically resistive heater in electrical communication with a secondary coil. A wick extends across the air passage. The wick is configured to draw pre-vapor formulation from a reservoir toward the heater. The heater is configured to heat the pre-vapor formulation to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the pre-vapor formulation and form a vapor. The cartomizer is connectable to a power supply component which includes a power source in electrical communication with a primary coil. The power supply component is configured to induce sufficient voltage in the secondary coil of the heater circuit such that the secondary coil is configured to heat the heater and vaporize the pre-vapor formulation when the primary coil is powered by the power source.

A bowl for evaporation of a substance for inhalation comprises a cylindrical wall attached to a base. The bowl is made of a colorless single-crystal material selected from the group consisting of: alumina, magnesium-alumina spinel, yttrium-aluminum garnet, and cubic zirconium oxide. The bowl can have any desired color by doping the colorless single-crystal material by a transition metal. The transition metal is selected from a group consisting of: titanium, vanadium, chromium, iron and cobalt. The substance for evaporation can be positioned inside the bowl. In one embodiment, the bowl comprises a tapered cylindrical wall attached to a base. The tapered cylindrical wall can preferably be in shape of a truncated cone to which the base is attached.

A technique which, while avoiding excessive conduction of heat to the flavor source, reduces variance of heat conduction, and which makes it possible to reduce the weight and the cost of the flavor inhaler is disclosed. A flavor inhaler which, provided with a cylindrical holding member extending along a prescribed direction from a lighting end to a non-lighting end, includes a combustion-type heat source disposed at the lighting end, a flavor source which, in the prescribed direction, is arranged towards the non-lighting end with respect to the combustion-type heat source, and a cup-shape cup member which holds the flavor source and has a side wall and a bottom plate. The cup member is arranged with the bottom plate thereof disposed towards the non-lighting end with respect to the combustion-type heat source, and is inserted into the holding member oriented so as to open towards the lighting end or oriented so as to open towards the non-lighting end, and at least the side wall and the bottom plate configuring the cup member are configured from a material containing pulp, a binder and a metal soap.
