Accordingly, the cigarette 10 may be inserted into the hollow portion 101 of a part of the entire length, and a portion of the cigarette 10 inserted into the hollow portion 101 has a circumferential surface of the heating heater. It may face each other with the inner surface of (100).

In addition, the circumferential surface facing the inner surface of the heating heater 100 may be heated through the heat provided from the heating heater 100 when the heating heater 100 generates heat.

For this reason, a part of the cigarette 10 inserted in the hollow portion 101 may be heated as a whole in the circumferential direction, thereby increasing the heating area. In addition, a part of the cigarette 10 inserted into the hollow portion 101 may be heated evenly by the entire circumference of the entire circumference facing the inner surface of the heating heater 100.

At this time, the heating heater 100 for a cigarette-type electronic cigarette according to an embodiment of the present invention increases reliability and increases the life cycle of the product even under operating conditions in which temperature and cooling are repeated repeatedly, and rapidly moves heat generated from a heat source. It may include a ceramic material to be made.

For example, the heating heater 100 for a cigarette type electronic cigarette device according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a support 110, an electrode pattern 120 and a cover layer 130, and the support 110. It may be made of a ceramic material.

That is, the support 110 may be made of a ceramic material having heat resistance to withstand high temperatures of 100 ° C. or more when the electrode pattern 120 is heated. As a non-limiting example, the support 110 is alumina, ZrO ₂ , MgO, Si ₃ N ₄ , SiC, AlN. It may be a ceramic material such as ZTA, but is not limited thereto, and all known ceramic materials may be applied.
