To obtain a flavor inhaler capable of reliving a stress to be applied to a member that forms a tightly closed section while curbing a loss of thermal energy generated by a heating portion. The flavor inhaler includes: an accommodating portion that accommodates at least a part of a flavor generating article; a heating portion that is configured to heat the flavor generating article accommodated in the accommodating portion; at least one tightly closed section that is formed at a circumference of the accommodating portion; and an elastic member that configures at least a part of an inner surface of the tightly closed section, a stress being not applied to the elastic member in a state where the heating portion is not operating.
