The present invention relates to an aerosol generating article (100) having a first section (114) including a combustible heat source (102) and an aerosol-forming substrate(104) and a second section (118) including a tubular element (150) defining a recess (152) at one end of the second section(118). The first and second sections (114, 118) are integrally connected at a region of weakness(122) and are separable at the region of weakness. This enables the tubular element (150) to be placed over the combustible heat source(102), after use of the aerosol generating article, such that the combustible heat source is at least partially received in the recess (152) to reduce the ignition propensity of the smoking article. The first section is upstream of the second section when the first and second sections are integrally connected and the tubular element is at least partically open at both of its ends such that air may be drawn through the tubular element. The tubular element is either at the downstream end of the second section such that the recess forms a mouth end cavity,or is at the upstream end such that the recess forms a transfer element. |
