1. An aerosol-generating article for providing an electrical stimulation to a user, comprising:
an aerosol-forming substrate;
a first electrode;
a second electrode;
a first tipping paper; and
a second tipping paper,
wherein the first electrode is disposed at a first position of the aerosol-forming substrate and is configured to provide a first electrical contact to the user,
wherein the second electrode is disposed at a second position at a front face of the aerosol-forming substrate and is configured to provide a second electrical contact to the user,
wherein the second position is different from the first position to enable a provision of an electrical potential between the first electrode and the second electrode and to provide an electrical stimulation to the user,
wherein the first electrode is accessible for a first region of the mouth, the first region of the mouth being a first area on a tongue of the user,
wherein the second electrode is accessible for a second region of the mouth of the user, the second region being different from the first region,
wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are electrically connectable to an electric power source to provide the electrical potential between the first electrode and the second electrode,
wherein the first electrode is electrically connected to a first electrically conductive element extending at least partially along the aerosol-forming substrate,
wherein the first electrically conductive element is electrically connected to a first electric terminal arranged at the aerosol-forming substrate,
wherein the first electric terminal is electrically connectable to the electric power source,
wherein the second electrode is electrically connected to a second electrically conductive element extending at least partially along the aerosol-forming substrate,
wherein the second electrically conductive element is electrically connected to a second electric terminal arranged at the aerosol-forming substrate,
wherein the second electric terminal is electrically connectable to the electric power source,
wherein the first electric terminal and the second electric terminal are arranged on the first tipping paper,
wherein the first electrically conductive element and the second electrically conductive element are arranged in the second tipping paper, and
wherein the first tipping paper and the second tipping paper are wound together in an overlapping manner such that the first electric terminal electrically contacts the first electrically conductive element and the second electric terminal electrically contacts the second electrically conductive element.
