1. An aerosol generating system comprising:
a body defining a cavity having a cavity opening;
an aerosol-forming substrate disposed in the cavity;
a heating element disposed proximate to the cavity opening;
a controller configured to detect contact of the aerosol-forming substrate with the heating element; and
a mechanical advancement mechanism configured to advance the aerosol-forming substrate towards the heating element.
