The cartridge and the control device each include at least one connector configured to provide a magnetic and an electrical connection between the cartridge and the control device such that the cartridge can be removably and operatively received into the cartridge receiving chamber of the control body, wherein the at least one connector of the cartridge is located on the mouthpiece portion.

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.

The aerosol-generating system (8) comprises a capsule (1) comprising a shell (10) comprising a base (101) and at least one side wall (100) extending from the base. The capsule further comprises a lid (11) sealed on the at least one side wall (100) for forming a sealed capsule (1). The shell (100) contains an aerosol-forming substrate (2) and comprises susceptor material for heating the aerosol-forming substrate (2) within the shell (1). The system further comprises a power source (700) connected to a load network comprising an inductor (702) for being inductively coupled to the susceptor material of the shell (1).

A smokeless cigarette having a decreased vapor temperature and preventing the heat-caused collapse of a cigarette holder comprises a filter tip, a heat-resistant hollow section and a tobacco section sequentially connected, wherein the heat-resistant hollow section consists of a heat-resistant hollow section cover and a heat-resistant hollow section hollow layer. The heat-resistant hollow section is made by rolling a high-temperature resistant material into a hollow tubular structure; the high-temperature resistant material forms the heat-resistant hollow section cover. The heat-resistant hollow section hollow layer is a cavity structure formed and surrounded by the heat-resistant hollow section cover. An inner layer of the heat-resistant hollow section cover is coated with a layer of phase-change heat-absorbing material, or the heat-resistant hollow section hollow layer is filled with a phase-change heat-absorbing material.
