Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022123262A1] Articles (1) for use as or as part of a non-combustible aerosol provision system are described. In one aspect, the article includes an aerosol-generating material (2) having at least one aerosol forming material and a cylindrical body (21) disposed downstream of the aerosol-generating material. The distance (d) between the downstream end of the aerosol-generating material and the upstream end of the cylindrical body is less than about 22 mm. In another aspect, a hollow tubular member (3) is disposed downstream of the aerosol generating material (2), the hollow tubular member having one or more ventilation areas (12). A substantially cylindrical body (21) is disposed downstream of the hollow tubular member, the downstream end of the substantially cylindrical body forming the downstream end of the article (1), and the distance between the downstream end of the article and the downstream end of the hollow tubular member being at least 8 mm, wherein the one or more ventilation areas are provided between 12 mm and 21 mm from the downstream end of the article. Alternatively or in addition, the one or more ventilation areas are provided less than 3,5 mm from the downstream end of the hollow tubular member. Corresponding method and systems are also described.
