An aerosol-generating article (10) is provided for generating an inhalable aerosol upon heating, wherein the aerosol-generating article (10) is a rod (12) of an aerosol-generating substrate comprising a gel composition, the gel composition comprising at least one gelling agent; a rod 12 comprising at least one of an alkaloid compound and a cannabinoid compound, and an aerosol former; an upstream element 46 upstream of the rod 12 of the aerosol-generating substrate and abutting the upstream end of the rod 12 of the aerosol-generating substrate; and a downstream section (14) arranged downstream of the rod (12) of the aerosol-generating substrate and arranged in axial alignment with the rod (12) of the aerosol-generating substrate, the downstream section (14) comprising one or more downstream elements , comprising a downstream section 14 . The resistance to attraction (RTD) of the upstream element is between 5 mm H 2 O and 80 mm H 2 O. |
