Abstract
Apparatus and methods are provided for use with a cylindrically-shaped capsule that contains a smoking material containing one or more active agents. A smoking device receives the cylindrically-shaped capsule that contains the smoking material and flattens at least part of a portion of the capsule that contains the smoking material.
