Abstract (en)

[origin: US2022202082A1] To prevent droplets formed by agglomeration of aerosol in an aerosol flow path from reaching the inside of a user's mouth, an atomizing unit includes an atomizing section configured to atomize an aerosol source, a tank configured to hold the aerosol source, and a liquid holding section disposed at a front end of the tank. The tank includes a flow path wall that defines at least part of an aerosol flow path, through which aerosol generated by atomizing of the aerosol source passes, and which extends in a first direction. The atomizing unit further includes a liquid evacuation section disposed in the aerosol flow path. The liquid holding section is in communication with the liquid evacuation section.
