1. An aerosol delivery device comprising:
a body portion comprising a first side and a second side, each extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end, the body portion defining an interior cavity, wherein a length of each of the first side and the second side is greater than a length of each of the first end and the second end, and
a mouthpiece proximate the second end of the body portion, the mouthpiece being offset from the longitudinal axis;
a power source within the interior cavity of the body portion;
an atomizer within the interior cavity of the body portion;
an aerosol precursor composition within the interior cavity of the body portion;
circuitry arranged within the body portion and in electrical communication with the power source to direct current from the power source to the atomizer to aerosolize the aerosol precursor composition and form an aerosol for passage through the mouthpiece; and
a flow path extending through the aerosol precursor composition to direct the aerosol entrained with air therethrough for passage through the mouthpiece.
