In some embodiments, the first induction coil arrangement 132 and associated first section 12a of the aerosolizable material 12 may be those nearest the first end 111 of the heating zone 110, and the second induction coil arrangement 132 and associated second section 12b of the aerosolizable material 12 may be closer to the second end 112 of the heating zone 110. This helps to enable an aerosol to be formed and released relatively rapidly from the article 10 at the first section 12a of the aerosolizable material 12 relatively close to the outlet 102, for inhalation by a user, yet provides time-dependent release of aerosol, so that aerosol continues to be formed and released even after the first section 12a of the aerosolizable material 12 has ceased generating aerosol. Such cessation of aerosol generation may occur as a result of the first section 12a of the aerosolizable material 12 becoming exhausted of volatilizable components.
