1. An aerosol delivery device, comprising:
a control body including an electrical power source and an induction transmitter; and
a cartridge including an induction receiver and an aerosol precursor composition, the cartridge being couplable with the control body,
wherein the induction receiver comprises a mesh, and wherein the induction transmitter is configured to receive an electrical current from the electrical power source that causes the induction transmitter to generate an oscillating magnetic field, and the induction receiver is configured to generate heat via eddy currents induced at the induction receiver when exposed to the oscillating magnetic field and heat the aerosol precursor composition to produce an aerosol,
wherein the induction transmitter comprises a coil, and wherein the coil substantially surrounds the mesh induction receiver.
