Abstract (en)

An aerosol generating article (10) is configured for use with an electrically-operated aerosol generating device (40, 60) having a heater (58, 62). The aerosol generating article (10) has a distal end (12) and a mouth end (14) downstream of the distal end (12). The aerosol generating article (10) comprises an aerosol generating substrate (16) at the distal end (12), an air outlet (28) at the mouth end (14) and a primary air inlet (24) upstream of the aerosol generating substrate (16). The aerosol generating article (10) also comprises a secondary air inlet (26) downstream of the aerosol generating substrate (16). The secondary air inlet (26) is selectively blocked when the aerosol generating article (10) is positioned in an aerosol generating device (40, 60) to substantially prevent airflow from the secondary air inlet (26) to the air outlet (28).
