Abstract
Disclosed herein is an aerosol generating system comprising (i) an aerosol generating article comprising an aerosol generating material, the aerosol generating material comprising nicotine and an aerosol generating agent, and (ii) an aerosol generating device comprising an induction heater; wherein during operation, the article is inserted into the device and an aerosol is generated by using the induction heater to heat the aerosol generating material to at least 150° C.; wherein (i) the mean particle or droplet size in the generated aerosol is less than about 1000 nm in an aerosol generated under an airflow of at least 1.50 L/m during a two-second period, and/or (ii) wherein the aerosol density generated during a two-second period under an airflow of at least 1.50 L/m during the period, is at least 0.1 μg/cc.
