The present invention relates to a vaping article comprising an aerosol-generating zone, a zone for cooling the aerosol comprising a paper in the shape of a hollow tube, this paper comprising a fibrous substrate, and optionally a filtering zone,
characterized in that the zone for cooling the aerosol is functionalized by a plant extract and an aerosol-generating agent.

A cooling assembly for the aerosol-generating article according to an embodiment may include a cooling rod for cooling an aerosol generated by the aerosol-generating article; a perforation formed in the cooling rod and through which air passes; and an air volume regulator disposed on the outside of the cooling rod to cover the perforation, and regulating an amount of air passing through the perforation as the air volume regulator moves from one position to another.

A cigarette for an aerosol generating device includes a tobacco rod containing an aerosol generating material; and a cooling rod arranged at one side of the tobacco rod and comprising a hollow extending in a longitudinal direction of the cigarette, wherein a cooling material layer is coated on an inner surface of the cooling rod.

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.

A multi-purpose internal component for an aerosol-generating product includes a hollow cylinder and air-permeable sealing members located at two ends of the hollow cylinder, where the hollow cylinder is filled with a functional material. The hollow cylinder can be filled with a smoke-generating material, a material with cooling, fragrance-enhancing, and harm-reducing functions, a filter material, and the like, such that multiple functions can be achieved; and the air-permeable sealing members at the two ends enable an air-flow channel. The internal component for an aerosol-generating product is simple and widely used in aerosol-generating products. An aerosol-generating product using the multi-purpose internal component for an aerosol-generating product is provided, where the multi-purpose internal component for an aerosol-generating product can be used as an aerosol-generating component, a multi-functional component, or a filter component.

An aerosol-generating article is provided for producing an inhalable aerosol upon heating, the article including: a mouthpiece assembly including first, second, and third tubes; and an aerosol-forming substrate, in which the first tube abuts a downstream end face of the second tube, and the third tube abuts an upstream end face of the second tube, an internal diameter of the second tube is smaller than an internal diameter of the first tube and of the third tube, the internal diameter of the first tube is between 3 mm and 8 mm, a ratio of the internal diameter of the first tube to the internal diameter of the second tube is between 1.2 and 5, a ratio of the internal diameter of the first tube to the internal diameter of the third tube is between 0.5 and 2, and the second tube is a cellulose acetate tube.

A smoking product includes: a smoking material portion which is wrapped by a smoking material wrapper; a filter portion whose upstream end portion is combined with the smoking material portion, which includes a capsule containing a flavoring, and which is wrapped by a filter wrapper; and a tipping wrapper which surrounds at least a partial region of the smoking material portion and the filter portion so that the smoking material portion and the filter portion are combined, wherein the tipping wrapper includes a first perforation region including a plurality of perforations formed along an outer circumferential surface of the tipping wrapper and a second perforation region including a plurality of perforations formed downstream of the first perforation region and along the outer circumferential surface of the tipping wrapper, and the capsule is disposed downstream of the first perforation region and upstream of the second perforation region.

A cigarette paper contains pulp fibers and filler particles, whereby at least 20% of the filler particles, by mass or by particle number, have a flaked shape. The flaked filler particles have a length l, a width b and a thickness d, which correspond to the respective maximum extension in three mutually orthogonal spatial directions, whereby the length l as well as the width b are at least twice as large as the thickness d. The mass-specific median value d.sub.50 of the particle size distribution measured according to ISO 13317-3 is between 0.2 μm and 4.0 μm, and the flaked particles are formed by calcium carbonate.

An aerosol-generating article for producing an inhalable aerosol upon heating is provided, the article including: a rod of aerosol-generating substrate; a hollow tubular segment at a location downstream of the rod, being in longitudinal alignment with the rod, and defining a cavity extending from an upstream end to a downstream end of the hollow tubular segment; a mouthpiece segment downstream of the hollow tubular segment and including a plug of filtration material and a mouth end recess downstream of the plug; and a ventilation zone along the hollow tubular segment less than 20 millimetres from a downstream end of the article and including one or more rows of perforations formed through a peripheral wall of the hollow tubular segment, and the rod including at least an aerosol former and having an aerosol former content of at least about 12 percent on a dry weight basis.

An aerosol generating assembly includes an aerosol generating device (100) having a coil and an aerosol generating article. The aerosol generating article has a substantially cylindrical rod of aerosol generating material of between about .sub.10 mm and about 1.sub.00 mm looms in length, and the article and device are arranged with respect to each other such that the aerosol generating material is heatable by the device. The aerosol generating material can have at least .sub.1-1 mg of nicotine and/or at least about .sub.17 mg of aerosol generating agent.
