There is provided an aerosol-generating system including an aerosol-generating device and an aerosol-forming cartridge including at least one aerosol-forming substrate, wherein in use the aerosol-forming cartridge is at least partially received within the aerosol-generating device. The system further includes at least one electric heater configured to heat the at least one aerosol-forming substrate, at least one air inlet, and at least one air outlet. The system further includes an air flow channel extending between the at least one air inlet and the at least one air outlet. The air flow channel is in fluid communication with the aerosol-forming substrate, and has an internal wall surface on which one or more flow disturbing devices are disposed, the flow disturbing devices being arranged to create a turbulent boundary layer in a flow of air drawn through the air flow channel.

A sanitary smoking apparatus is described. It includes a burn chamber having an inlet and an outlet. An inlet conduit is coupled to the burn chamber and is arranged to deliver air to the burn chamber. An air pump is coupled to the inlet conduit and is the source of air delivered to the burn chamber. An outlet conduit is also coupled to the burn chamber, wherein air from the pump pushes smoke from within the burn chamber out of the burn chamber through the outlet conduit to a user of the apparatus.

A portable inhalation apparatus is provided comprising a base and a collapsible stem assembly. In some embodiments, the portable inhalation apparatus is a smoking pipe. The collapsible stem assembly may have an extended position in which the stem assembly extends away from the base and a collapsed position in which the stem assembly is collapsed towards the base. When the stem assembly is in the collapsed position, the smoking pipe may be in a compact form to store and transport the smoking pipe. The stem assembly may comprise at least two stem sections and at least one articulating connection interconnecting the stem sections. A related method for making a portable inhalation apparatus is also provided.

A reusable multiple dose smoking appliance includes a cover and a base that removeably cooperate with a receptacle. The receptacle defines at least one reservoir configured to contain a volume of a smokeable media and at least one primary smoke channel. Cooperation of the base and receptacle define a secondary smoke channel that is in fluid communication with the primary smoke channel. An aperture is defined by the cover and is oriented to selectively expose and obstruct the smokeable content reservoir. When the reservoir is exposed to atmosphere and a combustion source is disposed proximate thereto, user inhalation effectuates combustion of the smokeable media such that the fire effluent or smoke is communicated to the user via the primary and secondary smoke channels.
