Abstract
The aerosol-generating article (1) comprises a tobacco element and a mouthpiece element. The tobacco element comprises an aerosol-forming substrate (2), a support element (3) arranged downstream of the aerosol-forming substrate (2) and an aerosol-cooling element (4) arranged downstream of the support element. The mouthpiece element comprises a filter segment (5) and a hollow tube (6). The aerosol-cooling element (4) has a length of at most 15 millimeter. A length of the mouthpiece element is adapted according to the length of the aerosol-cooling element (4) such that a total length of the aerosol-generating article (1) is kept at a predefined total length.
