An aerosol-generating article for generating an inhalable aerosol when heated, comprising:
- a plurality of components assembled within a wrapper to form a rod having a mouth end and a distal end upstream from the mouth end, the plurality of components comprising:
- an aerosol-forming substrate comprising plant material and an aerosol former, wherein the aerosol-forming substrate has an aerosol former content of between 5% and 30% by weight on a dry weight basis;
- a filter segment downstream of the aerosol-forming substrate, the filter segment comprising fibres of at least 12 denier per filament, and wherein the filter segment has a total denier of from about 24,000 to about 60,000;
- and
- a support element located immediately downstream of the aerosol-forming substrate, wherein the support element abuts the aerosol-forming substrate, and wherein the support element comprises a hollow tubular element.
