Smoking article include a smokable material and an activated carbon particle downstream of the smokable material. The activated carbon particle is produced from a whole seed. The activated carbon particle has a length, width and height. At least two of the length width and height are independently in a range from about 1 mm to about 7.5 mm. The particles can be spheroids, in which case the length, width and height would be the same or similar.

A portable smoke filtration apparatus for holding a smoke filter includes a filter unit having a first filter opening, a second filter opening, and a filter chamber configured for holding the smoke filter. Air entering the first filter opening must pass through the smoke filter to reach the second filter opening. A body portion includes a retainer for retaining the filter unit therein, and a mouth opening. A first cap portion is provided for releasably securing to the body portion opposite the mouth opening, and the first cap portion includes a projection in open communication with the body portion.

Deformable valves and atomizer designs for a vaporizer (e.g., electronic cigarette). The vaporizer may be used for vaporization of liquid and/or organic material. The vaporizer may enable enhanced flow control of fluid and may generate high quality and quantity of vapor efficiently. In some instances, flow path of the vaporizer may allow bulk fluid flow, e.g., in contrast to capillary flow, to deliver fluid to a vicinity of the vaporizer. In some instances, the vaporizer may utilize improved atomizer designs for vaporizing devices, where said designs can be configured optionally, with various embodiments of a breath-modulating deformable valve.
