Abstract
Apparatus and methods are provided for use with a smoking device that includes an infrared temperature sensor. A capsule includes a smoking material containing one or more active agents. A metallic foil is disposed around at least a portion of the smoking material, the metallic foil being configured to vaporize one or more of the active agents from within the smoking material, by the metallic foil being heated by the smoking device via resistive heating. A coating is disposed around at least a portion of the metallic foil at which the infrared temperature sensor is configured to detect a temperature of the capsule, and/or the portion of the metallic foil is treated, such that the portion of the metallic foil has an emissivity value of at least 0.5. Other applications are also described.
