The support 2a on which the coating 2b or layer comprising heating material is provided need not interact with the applied varying magnetic field to generate heat in the support 2a. That is, the support 2a need not itself be heatable by penetration with a varying magnetic field. All the support 2a need be able to achieve is supporting the heating material coating 2b while resisting the heat generated therein. Accordingly, the support 2a can be made from any suitable heat resistant material, such as those described herein.

It will therefore be appreciated that heating elements of example embodiments of the present disclosure enable efficient transfer of energy from a varying magnetic field into the heating element while retaining the benefits of relatively low cost, ease of material availability, and ease of forming during manufacture.

Referring to FIG. 4, there is shown a schematic cross-sectional view of an example of a system according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The system 1000 comprises an article 10 comprising aerosolizable material 12, and an apparatus 100 for heating the aerosolizable material 12 to volatilize at least one component of the aerosolizable material 12. In this embodiment, the aerosolizable material 12 comprises tobacco, and the apparatus 100 is a tobacco heating product (also known in the art as a tobacco heating device or a heat-not-burn device).
