The purpose of the present invention is to provide a tobacco filling: that is for a non-combustion-type heating smoking article that heats a filling that contains cut tobacco; that suppresses reductions in the evaporated amount of a fragrant smoke flavor component for the non-combustion-type heating smoking article; and that can suppress the “feeling that fragrant smoke flavor is being inhibited.” According to the present invention, a dihydrogen salt of a trivalent or tetravalent acid that has a first acid dissociation constant of 1.0 or lower is added to a tobacco filling, and, as a result, reductions in the evaporated amount of a fragrant smoke flavor component can be suppressed, as can “the feeling that fragrant smoke flavor is being inhibited.”

In one aspect an aerosol-generating device comprising a smoking article and a heat source is described. The smoking article includes a smokable material and a cooling agent, the smokable material including a tobacco component. The heat source is disposed to heat, but not burn the smokable material in use. The cooling agent comprises a compound or a combination of compounds according to either of the following formulae, racemates, enantiomers and salts thereof (I, II). ##STR00001##

Provided herein are a coating composition of a low ignition propensity cigarette paper, a smoking article using the same, and a method of manufacturing the low ignition propensity cigarette paper. The coating composition of the low ignition propensity cigarette paper according to some embodiments of the present disclosure includes Arabic gum, ethanol, water, and fructo-oligosaccharide. Fructo-oligosaccharide may remarkably delay the aging speed of the coating composition and block even fine pores so that the ignition propensity of the coating composition is significantly reduced.
