Heating unit for an HNB tobacco article and method of making a heating unit

摘要

A heating unit (13) for an HNB tobacco article (10) comprises a tobacco sheet (20) and an electrical resistance heating element (18) for heating the tobacco sheet without combustion. The resistance heating element (18) is integrated into and / or connected to the tobacco sheet (20) and thus forms at least one tobacco-heater composite element (26).
