An aerosol-generating device is disclosed. The aerosol-generating device includes a container having a first passage; a container head, which is disposed on the container and has a first outlet at a bottom surface to communicate with the first passage; a mouthpiece, which is pivotably connected to the container head and has a second passage; and a sealing cap projecting outwards from the mouthpiece, wherein the sealing cap closes the first outlet when the mouthpiece is pivoted to a first position, and the sealing cap opens the first outlet to allow the first outlet to communicate with the second passage when the mouthpiece is pivoted to a second position.

Provided according to an exemplary embodiment is a heater for an aerosol generation device, the heater comprising a plurality of segments combined together to form an insertion portion into which an object-to-be-heated is inserted; one or more electrically conductive tracks printed on one surface of each of the plurality of segments and disposed toward the object-to-be-heated; and an elastic member configured to surround at least a part of the plurality of segments.

A dual-access closure for a beverage container has a body with a flexible rim adapted to snap over an upper rim of a beverage container, a sealed, elongated enclosure attached to an underside of the body, a first access element adapted to open and close a first opening passing through the body into the sealed, elongated enclosure, a vapor-producing apparatus within the sealed, elongated enclosure and coupled to the first opening, and a second access element adapted to open and close a second opening passing through the body, outside the sealed, elongated enclosure. With the body engaged to the top of the beverage container, a user is enabled to manipulate the first access interface to draw vapor from the vapor-producing apparatus, and to manipulate the second access element to ingest a beverage from the beverage container.
