(54) AEROSOL GENERATION SYSTEM


(57) [Problem] To provide a configuration with which it is possible to prevent a heating unit from breaking.
[Solution] This aerosol generation system is provided with a power supply unit for supplying electric power; a heating unit for heating a substrate containing an aerosol source; and a holding unit for holding the heating unit. The heating unit is inserted into the substrate and comprises: an electric resistor that generates heat using electric power supplied from the power supply unit; a rigid body; and an electric insulator disposed between the electric resistor and the rigid body. The rigid body has a first portion extending in a first direction in which the substrate is inserted or removed and a second portion extending in a second direction different from the first direction. The holding unit holds the second portion of the rigid body.
