The support ele­ ment (30) abuts the aerosol-forming sub­ strate (20) and the aerosol-forming substrate (20) is configured to be penetrable by a heat­ ing element of an aerosol-generating device having a diameter of between about 40 per­ cent and about 70 percent of the diameter of the aerosol-forming substrate without sub­ stantial deformation of the smoking article. The support element is configured to resist downstream movement of the aerosol-form­ ing substrate during insertion of the heating element of the aerosol-generating device into the aerosol-forming substrate.
