1. A condensation aerosol generating device for generating a condensation aerosol of a liquid formulation, the device comprising:
- a. a reservoir comprising a liquid formulation; and
b. a passageway comprising a heater element, wherein the reservoir is in fluid communication with the heater element, wherein the heater element is capable of vaporizing the liquid formulation when the liquid formulation is delivered onto the heater element, and wherein a flow of air through the passageway condenses the vaporized liquid formulation into particles having a mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of from about 1 μ
m to about 5 μ
m.
