An apparatus for generating aerosol comprises a capillary tube (20) comprises at least one bend, fluid inlets (20a, 20b) in
communication with a fluid source (22) and an outlet (20c) along the bend. The capillary tube is heated to a temperature sufficient to
volatilize fluid in the capillary tube, such that the volatilized fluid discharges from the outlet to form an aerosol. A method of
generating an aerosol is also disclosed.
