    Abstract: A heat not burn consumable comprising a plant product interspersed with a thermally conductive material in alternating layers such as radially or circumferentially alternating layers. The thermally conductive material may comprise at least one tubular element or may have a spiral configuration. The thermally conductive material may form spokes within the plant product. A heating element may abut a first longitudinal end face of the consumable with a longitudinally-extending conductive element which protruding axially from the longitudinal end face. The plant product may have a smooth surface and the thermally conductive material may be textured. The layers of thermally conductive material may have a grid configuration or a boustrophedonic configuration.

    Abstract: A heat not burn consumable (1) comprising a plant product (5) interspersed with a thermally conductive material in alternating layers such as radially or circumferentially alternating layers. The thermally conductive material may comprise at least one tubular element or may have a spiral configuration. The thermally conductive material may form spokes (4A-4E) within the plant product. A heating element may abut a first longitudinal end face (2) of the consumable (1) with a longitudinally-extending conductive element (6) which protruding axially from the longitudinal end face (2). The plant product (5) may have a smooth surface and the thermally conductive material (4) may be textured. The layers of thermally conductive material may have a grid configuration or a boustrophedonic configuration.

    Abstract: A heat not burn consumable (1) is provided. The consumable includes a tubular vapour generating member (7) defining a channel therethrough. At least an active portion of the vapour generating member is configured to be heated by a heater to produce vapour. The tubular vapour generating member has an inlet to the channel at a first end of the consumable, the first end of the consumable being for cooperation with a heating device. The active portion of the vapour generating member has a sidewall which has a thickness greater than 0.1 mm. This allows for rapid and consistent heating of the vapour generating member. The active portion comprises an amount of an active substance which is between 0.0001 milligrams per mm{circumflex over ( )}2 and 0.02 milligrams per mm{circumflex over ( )}2 of said internal surface area. The vapour generating member has an overall length which is greater than 50% of a total length of the consumable. This may allow for efficient manufacture of the consumable. The consumable also includes an inactive structural tube in axial abutment with the tubular vapour generating member and located downstream of the vapour generating member. A wrapper overwraps the vapour generating member and at least a portion of the inactive tube. This may allow for efficient manufacture of the consumable.

    Abstract: There is disclosed an aerosol delivery device. The aerosol delivery device includes a first aerosol first aerosol sized for pulmonary penetration; and a second aerosol sized to inhibit pulmonary penetration. The second aerosol is transmissible within at least one of: a mammalian oral cavity and a mammalian nasal cavity, and the second aerosol comprising an active component for activating at least one of: one or more taste receptors in said oral cavity and one or more olfactory receptors in said nasal cavity. The second aerosol generator includes a Venturi aperture to generate the second aerosol.
    There is disclosed a consumable for a substitute smoking device and a substitute smoking system. The consumable includes an airflow passage between an upstream inlet of the consumable and a downstream outlet of the consumable. The consumable also includes a porous member for passive aerosol generation. The airflow passage is constricted by the porous member to form a narrowed portion of the airflow passage.
    In another embodiment, the consumable also includes an inner porous member (315) for passive aerosol generation. The airflow passage has an annular portion surrounding at least a portion of the porous member.
    In another embodiment, a portion of the airflow passage is located between a porous surface of the porous member and an opposing airflow passage wall. A minimum distance between the porous surface of the porous member and the opposing airflow passage wall is less than 1000 microns.
    In another embodiment, the consumable also includes a porous member (315) for passive aerosol generation located within the airflow passage. The porous member is tapered along a longitudinal axis of the consumable.
    In another embodiment, the consumable has a longitudinal axis and includes an airflow passage (308) between an upstream inlet of the consumable and a downstream outlet of the consumable. The consumable also includes a porous member (315) for passive aerosol generation. A longitudinal cross section of the airflow passage includes an inclined portion forming a passage angle with the longitudinal axis of the consumable. The passage angle is greater than zero degrees and less than 90 degrees and a wall of the inclined portion is formed from a porous surface (318) of the porous member.
    In another embodiment, the consumable includes an active aerosol generator (304) for generating a first aerosol from a first aerosol precursor (310), and a passive aerosol generator (305) for generating a second aerosol from a second aerosol precursor (316).
    In another embodiment, the consumable also includes an aerosol generator for generating an aerosol. An external portion of the aerosol generator is located at the outlet of the consumable.
    In another embodiment, the consumable also includes an aerosol generator for generating an aerosol at an aerosol generation location. The aerosol generation location is substantially at the outlet located at a mouthpiece of the consumable.
    In another embodiment, the outlet is located at a mouthpiece portion of the consumable; and the mouthpiece portion includes a nozzle for control of an aerosol from the aerosol generator.

    Abstract: There is disclosed a fluid-transfer article which is suitable for use as part of an aerosol-generating system of a type which may be used as a smoking substitute. The fluid-transfer article comprises a first region for holding an aerosol precursor and for transferring said aerosol precursor to an activation surface of a second region of said article, said activation surface being disposed at an end of said article configured for thermal interaction with a heater of an aerosol-generation apparatus. The activation surface includes at least one arcuate surface portion and is configured such that, when the fluid transfer article is arranged with respect to a said heating surface for thermal interaction therebetween, the or each said arcuate surface portion opposes said heating surface and is concave towards said heating surface.
