The present disclosure relates to a heat-not-burn (HNB) aerosol-generating article, which comprises aerosol-generating raw material, aerosol-generating agent, and water. The aerosol-generating raw material is pre-pulverized and then sieved through a 40-200 mesh sieve. The aerosol-generating raw material, the aerosol-generating agent, and water are mixed in a certain proportion and blended into paste, so that the HNB aerosol-generating article is in a shape of paste stick when extruded, and is used to be injected into the HNB cartridge tube by extrusion into the paste stick. The paste stick HNB aerosol-generating article has internal pores in a form of loose paste stick. When the user performs a suction action, the pores are convenient for the aerosol passing through the paste stick HNB aerosol-generating article into the human mouth smoothly. The above-mentioned HNB aerosol-generating article is suitable for HNB non-tobacco products or HNB tobacco products and the like.

An aerosol-generating article is provided for producing an inhalable aerosol upon heating, the aerosol-generating article including: a rod of aerosol-generating substrate including a gel composition, the gel composition including at least one gelling agent, at least one of an alkaloid compound, and a cannabinoid compound, and at least 50 percent by weight of an aerosol former; an upstream element upstream of the rod of aerosol-generating substrate and abutting the upstream end of the rod of aerosol-generating substrate, in which a resistance-to-draw (RTD) of the upstream element is between 5 millimetres H.sub.2O and 80 millimetres H.sub.2O; and a downstream section arranged downstream of the rod of aerosol-generating substrate and in axial alignment with the rod of aerosol-generating substrate, the downstream section including one or more downstream elements.
