A component for an article for use in an aerosol delivery system includes a body of fibrous material comprising first and second additive release components embedded within the body of fibrous material. The first and second additive release components each have a maximum diameter between about 1.5 mm and about 2.5 mm and the first and second additive release components are separated by a distance of less than about 2.5 mm. There is also provided an article including the component and a system including the article and a non-combustible aerosol provision device for heating the aerosol generating material of the article. A manufacturing method is also provided.

An article for use as or as part of a non-combustible aerosol provision system includes an aerosol generating material including at least one aerosol forming material and a hollow tubular body disposed downstream of the aerosol generating material, the hollow tubular body having a wall thickness greater than about 0.5 mm and a density of between about 0.25 and about 0.75 g/cc. At least one ventilation area is arranged to provide external air into the hollow tubular body. A system is also described, including an article and a non-combustible aerosol provision device, as well as a method of forming an article.

Devices and methods for pre-rolled smoking tubes are described herein. The devices include a tube configured to roll a smoking tube. The tube includes a distal end having a distal opening, a proximal end spaced from the distal end along a central axis, the proximal end having at least one or a plurality of customizable proximal openings that regulate airflow in the tube, and a lumen that extends from the distal opening to the at least one proximal opening along the central axis. This configuration allows the creation of differing airflow patterns in the tube, reduced waste of desired materials during the manufacturing of filled smoking tubes, and reduced charred materials entering a user's oral cavity. The device may also be used, in whole or in part, as a mandrel during the manufacturing of pre-rolled tubes via an automated, semi-automated, or manual processes.

An aerosol-generating article for producing an inhalable aerosol upon heating is provided, the article including: a rod of aerosol-generating substrate; a mouthpiece element having a length L1 and including at least one mouthpiece filter segment formed of a fibrous filtration material; and an intermediate hollow section between the rod and the mouthpiece element, the intermediate hollow section having a length L2 and including: an aerosol-cooling element downstream of the rod and including a hollow tubular segment defining a longitudinal cavity providing an unrestricted flow channel, a length of the aerosol-cooling element being less than 10 millimetres, and a support element between the aerosol-cooling element and the rod, in which an upstream end of the aerosol-cooling element abuts a downstream end of the support element, and in which the length L1 of the mouthpiece element is at least 0.4 times the length L2 of the intermediate hollow section.
