Aerosol-generating article with an isolated aversive component

Abstract

There is provided an aerosol-generating article (10), particularly for generating an inhalable aerosol upon heating, the aerosol-generating article (10) comprising: an aerosol-generating substrate (12); a downstream section (14) extending from a downstream end of the aerosol-generating substrate (12) to a downstream end of the aerosol-generating article (10), wherein the downstream section (14) defines an airflow pathway through which an aerosol may flow from the aerosol-generating substrate (12) to the downstream end of the aerosol-generating article (10); at least one wrapper (30) circumscribing at least a portion of at least one of the aerosol-generating substrate (12) and the downstream section (14); and an aversive component (50) comprising a thread substrate or a strip substrate and an aversive agent absorbed in the thread substrate or strip substrate. The aerosol-generating article is configured such that the aversive component (50) is isolated from the airflow pathway such that the aversive agent is substantially prevented from entering the airflow pathway.
