The device also comprises a surface acoustic wave at- I N omizer (SAW- atomizer, 15) comprising an atomization region(40),at least one transducer (20) for generating surface acoustic waves IN C to propagate along a surface of the SAW-atomizer(15), at least a second transducer(20),and a supply element (30) arranged to supply N liquid aerosol- forming substrate from the liquid storage portion (16) to the atomization region (40) on the SAW-atomizer(15). The O device further comprises a control system (14) configured to operate the SAW-atomizer (15) for atomizing the liquid aerosol-form - ,..1: ing substrate in the atomization region (40) to generate an aerosol. A cartridge for such a smoking device, and a method for generat - .,. ing an aerosol in a smoking system are also provided.
