The present disclosure teaches provision of a method for an aerosol provision device. The method includes operating a wireless communication interface of the aerosol provision device in a listening mode. During operation of the listening mode, data is received data from the wireless communication interface of another aerosol provision device. The received data is stored in a memory of the aerosol provision device. A connectionless-state advertising packet that includes information relating to an identity and advertising state of the aerosol provision device is created using the wireless communication interface of the aerosol provision device and transmitted via the wireless communication interface. A connectionless-state request packet is received from a remote wireless device, via the wireless communication interface. In response to receiving the request packet, a connectionless-state response packet is created using the wireless communication interface and the response packet is transmitted via the wireless communication interface. At least one of the advertising packet and the response packet includes the received data from the memory and data generated by the aerosol provision device and stored in the memory.

An opening-closing assembly used for a heater for heating a heated tobacco product allows smooth and comfortable opening and closing operations. The opening-closing assembly for a tobacco heater includes a base including a first guide and a second guide and having an opening, a cover attached to the base and having an opening at a position corresponding to the opening in the base, and a lid guidable by the first guide to have a constant interval from the cover, and guidable linearly by the second guide to open and close the openings.

A vaporizer is disclosed. The vaporizer includes a body, an air pump, a heating block, a filling chamber, an air channel, and a control panel. The control panel is in electrical communication with the battery, the air pump, and the heating block and is configured to control a speed of the air pump and a temperature of the heating block.

A method and device for a smoking cessation program are disclosed. The method includes: defining a buffer value for virtual smoke products for a withdrawal day, defining a stock value for virtual smoke products for the withdrawal day, defining a buffer fill time for transferring the virtual smoke products from the stock value to the buffer value for the withdrawal day, and allowing one of the smoke products to be withdrawn from the housing as long as the number of virtual smoke products in the buffer value is greater than zero.

The method and the device enable the person willing to cease smoking to use the permanently reduced amount of smoke products during the withdrawal period (physical withdrawal) for the individual critical smoke situations in order to teach the corresponding brain area to master these critical smoke situations without smoke products (mental withdrawal).

The present invention relates generally to electronic smoking devices and in particular to a tray for at least a portion of an electronic smoking device. The tray (100) comprises at least one cavity (101) for containing the portion. The tray (100) is configured to be reversibly deformed from a default form into a deformed form by finger interaction with interaction elements of the tray (100) having a distance to each other of at least 90% of the average distance between thumb tip and index finger tip or a middle finger tip of an adult. The tray (100) is configured to return to the default form once the finger interaction is terminated. The default form provides the at least one cavity (101) for containing the portion in an inaccessible manner and the deformed form is required for accessing the portion.

A container for an aerosol generating device is disclosed. The container has a body has a body comprising a first portion configured to receive an aerosol generating device and one or more retention means externally accessible from the body, each retention means being configured to releasably retain a module.

The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices. The aerosol delivery devices may include a housing and a cartridge including an atomizer and a reservoir configured to contain an aerosol precursor composition. The cartridge may be configured to move relative to at least a portion of the housing between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration. Related assembly methods are also provided.
