A smoking article may include a cigarette incorporated within an electrically powered aerosol generating device that acts as a holder for that cigarette. The smoking article possesses at least one form of tobacco. The smoking article also possesses a mouth-end piece that is used by the smoker to inhale components of tobacco that are generated by the action of heat upon components of the cigarette. A representative smoking article possesses an outer housing incorporating a source of electrical power (e.g., a battery), a sensing mechanism for powering the device at least during periods of draw, and a heating device (e.g., at least one electrical resistance heating element) for forming a thermally generated aerosol that incorporates components of tobacco. During use, the cigarette is positioned within the device, and after use, the used cigarette is removed from the device and replaced with another cigarette.

A solvent for aerosol-generating material includes predominantly 1, 3-Propanediol and glycerol, wherein the 1, 3-Propanediol is less than 50% by weight based on the total weight of the solvent. In particular, it is shown also herein that when the ratio of 1, 3-Propanediol to glycerol is 3:7, the solvent significantly improves for example thermal stability as well as decreases inhaled flavours concentrations.

A tray for use with a shisha device includes a cavity for receiving a cartridge comprising aerosol-forming substrate. The tray is configured to form openings in the cartridge when the cartridge is inserted into the cavity. The openings formed in the cartridge allow air flow through the cartridge when cartridge and tray are received by the shisha device.
