Abstract
An electrically heated aerosol-generating system for receiving an aerosol-forming substrate includes a heating element including a first electrically conductive element electrically insulated from a second electrically conductive element by an electrically insulating portion. The first and second elements are elongate and are electrically connected to each other by an electrically resistive portion. At least one electrically conductive element and the electrically resistive portion are arranged such that they are at least partially in contact with the aerosol-forming substrate.
Claims13
A non-combustible smoking system comprising:
- a smoking article including an aerosol-forming substrate, the aerosol-forming substrate including tobacco, the smoking article including a filter, the filter being separated from the tobacco by at least 5 mm and a length of the smoking article is 30 mm - 100 mm;
- an elongated heater including an electrically resistive portion, the electrically resistive portion being positioned to be inserted into a central portion of the tobacco to heat the tobacco at a non-combustible temperature, the elongated heater including,
- at least a conductive portion and an insulating portion, the conductive portion extending in a longitudinal direction of the insulating portion, the electrically resistive portion contacting the conductive portion and extending from the conductive portion in the longitudinal direction of the insulating portion;
- and
- a holder coupled to the elongated heater.
