Aerosol generation apparatus and susceptor

An aerosol generation apparatus, for heating a smokable material to generate an aerosol, comprising:

• a cavity, configured to receive the smokable material, and having a proximal end and a distal end opposite to each other along an axial direction of the cavity;
• a magnetic field generator, configured to generate a varying magnetic field;
• and
• a susceptor, configured to be penetrated by the varying magnetic field to generate heat, and configured to at least partially extend from the distal end to the proximal end along the axial direction of the cavity, and then inserted into the smokable material for heating when the smokable material is received within the cavity from the proximal end in use;
• wherein the susceptor comprises an avoidance portion and a heating portion sequentially provided along the axial direction toward the proximal end;
• and a size of at least a part of the avoidance portion along a cross-sectional direction of the cavity is less than a size of the heating portion along the cross-sectional direction of the cavity, such that a gap is kept between the avoidance portion and the smokable material when the susceptor is inserted into the smokable material,
• wherein the magnetic field generator surrounds the avoidance portion of the susceptor.
