The invention provides a carbon-heated cigarette which comprises a carbon rod section, a tobacco section, a smoke extraction section and a filter section which are sequentially arranged from an upstream to a downstream. The carbon-heated cigarette can also comprise a composite paper and an outer wrapper wrapped around the outsides of the composite paper, the tobacco section, the smoke extraction section and the filter section. The composite paper is wrapped around a part of the carbon rod section and a part of or the entire tobacco section. The smoke extraction section has a cavity passing therethrough in an axial direction, and has a side wall having at least one side wall through-hole that communicates with the cavity. A wrapper through-hole is formed on the outer wrapper at a position corresponding to the side wall through-hole so as to allow the external air enter the smoke extraction section. The carbon-heated cigarette according to the present invention prevents air from passing through the tobacco section of the carbon-heated cigarette when the cigarette is being smoked, thereby the tobacco material can be maintained within a certain temperature range, and the composition and concentration of mainstream smoke are ensured.
