1. A method of delivering an aerosol to a subject, the method comprising: a) deploying an aerosol generating device comprising a heater and a vaporizable material in a vaporization chamber, wherein the vaporizable material comprises a tobacco product and an aerosol-forming medium, wherein the tobacco product comprises fine pieces of tobacco, wherein the fine pieces of tobacco are less than 2 mm in diameter, and wherein the aerosol-forming medium comprises glycerin or propylene glycol;b) heating the vaporizable material in the vaporization chamber with th...
1. A method of delivering an aerosol to a subject, the method comprising: a) deploying an aerosol generating device comprising a heater and a vaporizable material in a vaporization chamber, wherein the vaporizable material comprises a tobacco product and an aerosol-forming medium, wherein the tobacco product comprises fine pieces of tobacco, wherein the fine pieces of tobacco are less than 2 mm in diameter, and wherein the aerosol-forming medium comprises glycerin or propylene glycol;b) heating the vaporizable material in the vaporization chamber with the heater of the device to a target temperature, wherein the target temperature is 100° C. to 180° C.;c) generating the aerosol in the vaporization chamber, wherein the aerosol contains at least 70% less Hoffman analytes than a common tobacco cigarette; andd) delivering the aerosol directly to the subject for inhalation. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the Hoffman analytes include: ammonia, aminonaphthalenes, benzopyrene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, methylethylketone, butyraldehyde, hydrogen cyanide, nitrous oxides, tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs), pyridine, quinoline, hydroquinone, phenol, cresols, carbon monoxide, 1,3-butadiene, isoprene, acrylonitrile, benzene, toluene, and styrene. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the target temperature is 100° C. to 150° C. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the target temperature is about 150° C. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the aerosol contains at least about 80% less Hoffman analytes than a common tobacco cigarette. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the aerosol contains at least about 90% less Hoffman analytes than a common tobacco cigarette. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the aerosol-forming medium comprises glycerine and propylene glycol. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the vaporization chamber and heater are within a sealed cartridge, and wherein deploying the aerosol generating device comprises attaching the cartridge to a reusable portion of the device. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising removing the cartridge from the reusable portion when the vaporizable material is depleted. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the vaporizable material is a fluidic vaporizable material. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the tobacco product comprises fine pieces of tobacco, wherein the fine pieces of tobacco are less than 1 mm in diameter. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the aerosol comprises particles less than about 2 microns in diameter. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the aerosol-forming medium further comprises a natural or an artificial flavorant. 14. The method of claim 1, comprising a natural flavorant, wherein the natural flavorant comprises lemon flavor. 15. An aerosol generating device comprising: a heater; anda vaporization chamber comprising a vaporizable material that comprises a tobacco product and an aerosol-forming medium, wherein the tobacco product comprises fine pieces of tobacco, wherein the fine pieces of tobacco are less than 2 mm in diameter, and wherein the aerosol-forming medium comprises glycerine or propylene glycol,wherein the device generates an aerosol in the vaporization chamber upon heating the vaporizable material to a target temperature, wherein the target temperature is 100° C. to 180° C.,wherein the aerosol in the vaporization chamber is deliverable directly to a user following generation, andwherein the aerosol contains at least 70% less Hoffman analytes than a common tobacco cigarette. 16. The device of claim 15, wherein the Hoffman analytes include: ammonia, aminonaphthalenes, benzopyrene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, methylethylketone, butyraldehyde, hydrogen cyanide, nitrous oxides, tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs), pyridine, quinoline, hydroquinone, phenol, cresols, carbon monoxide, 1,3-butadiene, isoprene, acrylonitrile, benzene, toluene, and styrene. 17. The device of claim 15, wherein the target temperature is 100° C. to 150° C. 18. The device of claim 15, wherein the target temperature is about 150° C. 19. The device of claim 15, wherein the aerosol contains at least about 80% less Hoffman analytes than a common tobacco cigarette. 20. The device of claim 15, wherein the aerosol contains at least about 90% less Hoffman analytes than a common tobacco cigarette. 21. The device of claim 15, wherein the aerosol-forming medium comprises glycerine and propylene glycol. 22. The device of claim 15, wherein the vaporization chamber and heater are within a sealed cartridge. 23. The device of claim 22, wherein the cartridge is configured to be removed from a reusable portion of the device when the vaporizable material is depleted. 24. The method of claim 15, wherein the vaporizable material is a fluidic vaporizable material. 25. A method of delivering an aerosol to a subject, the method comprising: a) deploying an aerosol generating device comprising a heater and a vaporizable material in a vaporization chamber, wherein the vaporizable material comprises a tobacco product and an aerosol-forming medium, wherein the tobacco product comprises fine pieces of tobacco, wherein the fine pieces of tobacco are from 1 mm to 2 mm in diameter, and wherein the aerosol-forming medium comprises glycerin or propylene glycol;b) heating the vaporizable material in the vaporization chamber with the heater of the device to a target temperature, wherein the target temperature is 100° C. to 180° C.;c) generating the aerosol in the vaporization chamber, wherein the aerosol contains at least 70% less Hoffman analytes than a common tobacco cigarette; andd) delivering the aerosol directly to the subject for inhalation.
