Abstract: An aerosol-generating device is provided, including: a housing including a first housing portion defining a cavity configured to receive an aerosol-forming substrate and an opening at an end of the cavity, and a second housing portion configured for removable attachment to the first housing portion; and a closure member connected to the second housing portion, the closure member being moveable between a closed position in which the closure member at least partially covers the opening when the second housing portion is attached to the first housing portion and an open position in which the opening is uncovered when the second housing portion is attached to the first housing portion.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating article is provided, including: an aerosol-generating substrate including a homogenised star anise material including star anise particles, an aerosol former, an exogenous binder, and up to 15 percent by weight of fibres, on a dry weight basis; at least 70 micrograms of (E)-anethole per gram of the substrate, on a dry weight basis; at least 50 micrograms of epoxyanethole per gram of the substrate, on a dry weight basis; and at least 130 micrograms of benzyl isoeugenol ether per gram of the substrate, on a dry weight basis, and the fibres have lengths of greater than 400 micrometres. An aerosol-generating substrate, an aerosol-generating system, and a method of making an aerosol-generating substrate are also provided.
