Abstract
The invention relates to a mouthpiece (10) for an aerosol-generating device. The mouthpiece (10) comprises an inlet portion (12) configured for receiving an aerosol and an outlet portion (14) configured for outflow of the aerosol. An airflow path (16) connects the inlet portion (12) and the outlet portion (14). The airflow path (16) comprises an inner wall (18). The inner wall (18) of the airflow path (16) is at least partially lined with a capillary material (20). The capillarity of the capillary material (20) increases towards the inlet portion (12).
