Abstract
A flavor generation article including a pipe incorporating a heat reservoir and a formed body serving as a flavor generation medium. The pipe is inserted in an insertion hole of a connection plug, and the connection plug is mounted in a mount hole of a socket. The socket has first and second terminals respectively connected to the two terminals of a power supply. The heat reservoir and formed body in the pipe are heated by a coil heater disposed in the connection plug. When the heater maintains a predetermined temperature for a predetermined period of time, a projection of the mount hole is thermally deformed to be retreated. The connection plug is moved from a mount position by the action of the potential-restoration force of a coil spring and projects from a mount hole integrally with the pipe.
