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 43):
An aerosol generating smoking article comprising:\n a tubular outer housing having a mouth-end and an end distal to the mouth-end; an electrical power source; an electrical resistance heater within the tubular outer housing in electrical connection with the electrical power source; a puff-actuated controller adapted for regulating current flow through the electrical resistance heater during draw, the controller comprising a sensor adapted for sensing draw on the aerosol generating smoking article by a user; a substrate carrier that is an adsorbent material with an aerosol-generating material absorbed therein, 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 a mouth-end piece removably positioned at the mouth-end of the tubular outer housing, the mouth-end piece at least partially supporting a tobacco material.
