1. An aerosol delivery device, comprising:
a housing;
an electrical power source portion defined by the housing and including an electrical power source cavity configured to receive an electrical power source, the electrical power source cavity defining a first longitudinal axis;
a coupler portion engaged with the housing and including a coupler cavity configured to at least partially receive a cartridge including an aerosol precursor composition such that the cartridge extends along a second longitudinal axis, the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis being non-coaxial and oriented substantially parallel to one another;
an illumination source arranged in the housing; and
a button assembly engaged with the housing, the button assembly including an illumination source cover configured to direct illumination produced by the illumination source therethrough.
