- the end component 102 further comprises a heating element.
- the heating element is arranged inside the end component 102. During the process of heating the aerosol generation article 10, the heating element generates heat, thereby preheating the air entering the end component 102 and improving the user's puffing taste.
- the heating element is made of an electromagnetic induction material and can generate heat in an electromagnetic field.
- the electromagnetic induction material may be, for example, iron, cobalt, nickel, gadolinium, erbium or their alloys.

- the electromagnetic induction heating element 114 may be integrated with the end component 102. As shown in Figure 2, one end of the electromagnetic induction heating element 114 is integrated with the end component 102. The other end of the electromagnetic induction heating element 114 is received into the aerosol generating substrate 101. When the aerosol generation article 10 is in an electromagnetic field, the electromagnetic induction heating element 114 generates heat and can heat the aerosol generating substrate 101. Further, a part of the electromagnetic induction heating element 114 can also be arranged in the end component 102.
- the part of the electromagnetic induction heating element 114 located in the aerosol generating substrate 101 can heat the aerosol generating substrate 101 , and the part of the electromagnetic induction heating element 114 located in the end component 102 can preheat the air that is about to enter the aerosol generating substrate 101.
- the electromagnetic induction heating element can heat the aerosol generating substrate from the inside, when used in conjunction with an aerosol provision device that heats from the periphery, the inside and outside of the aerosol generating substrate can be heated simultaneously, which has high heating efficiency, and the aerosol generating substrate is uniformly heated, which can improve the puffing taste.
- the aerosol generating substrate can be heated by the electromagnetic induction heating element, even if the piercing component on the aerosol provision device is removed, an aerosol can still be successfully generated.
- This embodiment also provides an aerosol provision system.
- the system comprises an aerosol provision device and the above-mentioned aerosol generation article.
