The invention relates to a heating unit for an inhalation device for the inhalation administration of an inhalation mixture of air and at least one additive material, having a fuel storage ( 252 ) which is filled or can be filled with a thermally combustible solid or liquid fuel ( 258 ), and with a combustion chamber ( 256 ) for the combustion of the fuel ( 258 ), which is essentially sealed from the surroundings by a combustion chamber wall ( 222 ). The invention further relates to an inhalation device ( 210 ) with such a heating unit. n According to the invention, the combustion chamber ( 256 ) is designed for forming a flame, and the combustion chamber wall ( 222 ) has at least some micro openings ( 224 ). The micro openings are designed in such a way that the sum of the outer side lengths of all micro openings ( 224 ) is at least 140 mm, and the sum of the outer side lengths of the micro openings ( 224 ) per surface in the area of the combustion chamber wall ( 222 ) averages at least 80 mm/cm 2 . n Application as cigarette substitute or as aid for nicotine withdrawal. |
