Abstract (en)

The present disclosure relates to an electrically heated smoking article, and more particularly, to an electrically heated smoking article including an aerosol medium capable of generating an aerosol by a heating method rather than a combustion method.The electrically heated smoking article includes a filter rod, an aerosol medium rod stacked at a lower end of the filter rod and including an aerosol medium generating an aerosol by heating and a moisture absorbent accommodating or absorbing the aerosol medium, and a wrapping portion surrounding and wrapping the filter rod and the aerosol medium rod to maintain a stack structure, wherein the aerosol medium, including glycerin and a thickener, is maintained in a semi-solid or solid state in a first temperature range including room temperature and is in a liquefied state in a second temperature range higher than the first temperature range, wherein glycerin vaporizes in a third temperature range higher than the second temperature range to generate an aerosol, and the thickener does not vaporize in the third temperature range but remains in the moisture absorbent.
