1. An aerosol-generating article, comprising:
a plurality of elements assembled in the form of a rod having a mouth end and a distal end upstream from the mouth end, the plurality of elements including an aerosol-forming substrate and a plug element disposed upstream of the aerosol-forming substrate, wherein the plug element is cylindrical and formed from a non-inductively-heatable material;
a susceptor material arranged in thermal communication with the aerosol-forming substrate; and
a layer of inductively-heatable material arranged in contact with the non-inductively-heatable-material.
