Abstract (en)
The present disclosure relates to an aerosol-forming article (e.g. a smoking substitute article such as an HNB consumable) comprising an aerosol-forming substrate. The article/consumable has an axial length extending perpendicularly to a non-rectangular transverse end face. The aspect ratio of the axial length to a diameter of the transverse end face is between 6:1 and 1:1, and/or the aspect ratio of the axial length to the square root of the area of the transverse end face is between 7:1 and 1.1:1, and/or the aspect ratio of the axial length to the minimum dimension through the axial centre of the transverse end face perpendicular to the axial length is between 6:1 and 1:1. The articles/consumables described herein have a relatively smaller axial length compared to the dimensions of the transverse end face and thus are shorter and stockier/stubbier than known articles/consumables rendering them less susceptible to damage.
