Claims (21)

A non-combustion heated article comprising an aerosol-generating medium and a filter, comprising:
said filter comprising one or more crushable capsules;
wherein the aerosol-generating medium comprises 10% or more by weight of the total weight of the aerosol-generating medium of an aerosol-generating agent;
In use, the aerosol-generating medium is heated without burning, the capsule is exposed to a temperature of 30-100°C, exposed to at least 12 mg of water, and exposed to a temperature of 30-100°C. without compromising the structural integrity of the capsule during heating, thereby allowing a user to crush the capsule before, during, or after heating ;
A non-combustion heated article , wherein the capsule has a core-shell structure, the core containing a liquid, and the shell surrounding the core . 2. The non-combustion heated article of claim 1 , wherein the shell comprises 5-90% by weight of the total capsule shell weight of the gelling agent, the gelling agent comprising carrageenan. 3. The non-combustion heated article of claim 1 or 2 , wherein the aerosol-generating medium comprises tobacco material. Claim 1 or , wherein the aerosol-generating medium comprises an aerosol-generating agent and a tobacco material, and wherein the aerosol-generating agent and the tobacco material can be provided in the same portion of the aerosol-generating medium or in separate portions of the aerosol-generating medium. 3. The non-combustion heated article according to 2. 3. A non-combustion heated article according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein said one or more capsules occupy 5-30 % v/v of said filter. A non-combustion heated article according to claim 1 , wherein said filter comprises 70-95% v/v filter material. 7. The non-combustion heated article of claim 6 , wherein said filter material has an average melting point of 150<0>C or greater . The filter material contains 0.5 mol . 8. A non-combustion heated article according to claim 6 or 7 , having an average thermal conductivity of 130 W/mK or more . 3. The non-combustion heated article of claim 1 or 2 , wherein the filter further comprises a wrapper surrounding other filter components. 3. The non-combustion heated article of claim 2 , wherein the capsule shell comprises 5-60% by weight of the total capsule shell weight of carrageenan as a gelling agent. 3. The non-combustion heated article of claim 2 , wherein the capsule shell comprises 10-35% by weight of the total capsule shell weight of carrageenan as a gelling agent. 3. The non-combustion heated article of claim 2 , wherein the capsule shell further comprises a carbohydrate such as a plasticizer or starch , or further comprises a plasticizer and a carbohydrate such as a starch. Before heating is initiated, the one or more capsules are 0 . 8kp ~ 3 . 5 kp, suitably 1 . 0 kp to 2.0 kp. 3. The non-combustion heated article of claim 1 or 2 , having a breaking strength of 5 kp. 3. A non-combustion heated article according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the capsule core comprises a flavorant. A non-combustion heated assembly comprising the non-combustion heated article of claim 1 and a heater. 16. The non-combustion heated assembly of claim 15 , wherein the one or more capsules are positioned 25 mm or more from the heater. 17. The non-combustion heated assembly of claim 15 or 16 , wherein the heater comprises a combustible fuel source arranged to heat, but not combust, the aerosol-generating medium of the non-combustion heated article when ignited. 17. The non-combustion heating article of claim 15 or 16 , wherein the heater is a device into which the non-combustion heated article is partially or wholly inserted such that, in use, the aerosol-generating medium is heated but not combusted. Combustion heated assembly. A non-combustion heated assembly according to claim 15 or 16 , wherein the one or more capsules are configured to be exposed to temperatures of 30-100°C. 20. The non-combustion heated assembly of claim 19 , wherein the one or more capsules are configured to be exposed to temperatures between 40 and 90 degrees Celsius. 17. A non-combustion heated assembly according to claim 15 or 16 , configured to expose the aerosol- generating medium to 200<0>C or higher for 50 % or more of the heating period.
