Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022013433A1] An aerosol generation system comprising a consumable (160) and an aerosol generation device (100) is provided. The consumable comprises a housing (169) configured to contain an aerosol generating material, the housing having a first surface (162a) configured to engage with the aerosol generation device. The first surface comprises a breakable material (165) configured to be broken upon interaction with piercing elements (116) of the aerosol generation device, and a protective barrier (166) configured to be resistant to the piercing elements. The breakable material and the protective barrier are arranged such that the protective barrier defines breakable regions (167) in the first surface. The aerosol generation device comprises piercing elements arranged to pierce cooperating breakable regions in the first surface of the consumable, and to be inhibited from piercing a protective barrier in the first surface of the consumable.
