Abstract
This flavor-generating article comprises: a flavor source, and a container for accommodating the flavor source. The container comprises an air inlet and an air outlet. The width and length of the container are at least twice the maximum thickness of the container. The length of a first air flow path between the air outlet and the flavor source is smaller than the length of a second air flow path between the air inlet and the flavor source.
