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.”

A method of making an amorphous solid is provided. The method comprises: (a) forming a slurry comprising: 0.5-60 wt % of a gelling agent; 5-80 wt % of an aerosol forming material; and 0-60 wt % of an active constituent and/or flavorant; wherein these weights are calculated on a dry weight basis; (b) shaping the slurry; (c) setting the slurry to form a gel; and (d) drying the gel to form an amorphous solid; wherein the drying comprises heating the gel to a temperature in the range of about 80° C. to about 140° C. for a period of less than 60 minutes. Amorphous solids provided by the method, articles comprising the amorphous solids, and non-combustible aerosol provision systems comprising the articles are also provided.
