Cartridge containing menthol and flavoring agent and aerosol generating system including the same

Abstract

Provided are a cartridge including a liquid storage including an aerosol generating material, and an atomizer configured to generate an aerosol from the aerosol generating material, in which the aerosol generating material includes menthol, a flavoring agent, propylene glycol (PG), and vegetable glycerin (VG), and an aerosol generating system including the same.

1 . A cartridge comprising:
 a liquid storage comprising an aerosol generating material; and   an atomizer configured to generate an aerosol from the aerosol generating material,   wherein the aerosol generating material comprises menthol, a flavoring agent, propylene glycol (PG), and vegetable glycerin (VG).   
     
     
         2 . The cartridge of  claim 1 , wherein the flavoring agent comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of mint, chocolate, cocoa, coffee, licorice, coriander, vanillin, ethyl vanillin, maltol, ethyl maltol, eucalyptol, acetic acid, a breath freshener flavor, spice, bergamot oil, geranium oil, lemon oil, orange oil, lime oil, grapefruit oil, mint oil, ginger oil, isosweet, a fruit flavor component, and a tobacco flavor. 
     
     
         3 . The cartridge of  claim 1 , wherein a content of the menthol in the aerosol generating material is 0.5 wt % to 4.0 wt % and a content of the VG is 80 wt % to 59 wt %. 
     
     
         4 . The cartridge of  claim 1 , wherein a content of the flavoring agent other than the menthol in the aerosol generating material is 10 wt % or less. 
     
     
         5 . The cartridge of  claim 1 , wherein the atomizer comprises a liquid delivery means for absorbing the aerosol generating material and a heater configured to generate the aerosol. 
     
     
         6 . An aerosol generating system comprising:
 an aerosol generating stick comprising a tobacco medium portion, a front end plug, and a filter portion;   a cartridge; and   an aerosol generating device,   wherein the tobacco medium portion comprises menthol, a flavoring agent, propylene glycol (PG), and vegetable glycerin (VG),   wherein the cartridge is the cartridge according to  claim 1 , and   wherein the aerosol generating device comprises an aerosol generating stick accommodating groove, and a heater configured to heat the aerosol generating stick.   
     
     
         7 . The aerosol generating system of  claim 6 , wherein the aerosol generating device further comprises a battery, a controller, and a detector. 
     
     
         8 . The aerosol generating system of  claim 6 , wherein the tobacco medium portion comprises a carrier for carrying the flavoring agent. 
     
     
         9 . The aerosol generating system of  claim 6 , wherein the front end plug is a cellulose acetate filter, a paper filter, or a filter formed of a polymer material. 
     
     
         10 . The aerosol generating system of  claim 6 , wherein the aerosol generating system is a heat-not-burn type.
