Abstract:
A smoking article may include a cigarette incorporated within an electrically powered aerosol generating device that acts as a holder for that cigarette. The smoking article possesses at least one form of tobacco. The smoking article also possesses a mouth-end piece that is used by the smoker to inhale components of tobacco that are generated by the action of heat upon components of the cigarette. A representative smoking article possesses an outer housing incorporating a source of electrical power (e.g., a battery), a sensing mechanism for powering the device at least during periods of draw, and a heating device (e.g., at least one electrical resistance heating element) for forming a thermally generated aerosol that incorporates components of tobacco. During use, the cigarette is positioned within the device, and after use, the used cigarette is removed from the device and replaced with another cigarette.

Claim (Index 31):
An aerosol generating smoking article comprising:\n an outer housing; an electrical resistance heater configured for electrical connection with an electrical power source; a substrate carrier positioned in a first segment of the outer housing, the substrate carrier including an aerosol-generating material; and tobacco positioned in a second segment of the outer housing; wherein the substrate carrier is operatively positioned such that the aerosol-generating material can be wicked into contact with the electrical resistance heater for volatilization to produce an aerosol; and wherein the tobacco is operatively positioned such that the produced aerosol can be drawn through the tobacco and into the mouth of a user of the smoking article.
