An aerosol-generating system is provided, including a storage portion configured to store an aerosol-forming substrate; an aerosol-generating element configured to generate an aerosol from the aerosol-forming substrate; a control circuitry in communication with the storage portion or the aerosol-generating element; and disabling means for rendering the storage portion inoperable in the aerosol-generating system in response to a disable signal from the control circuitry. There is also provided a method in an aerosol-generating system, including sending a disable signal from the control circuitry to the disabling component following a determination that an amount of the aerosol-substrate in the storage portion is below a threshold level or following a determination of a malfunction in the system.

A floating physical therapy device includes a frame and a harness. The frame includes an inner frame and an outer frame on the right and left side. The inner frame defines a patient area. The harness is attached to the inner frame such that it secures a patient to the device in a substantially upright position during use. The frame extends forwards and backwards, as well as to the left and right, of the patient area in order to provide stability in the water during normal use. The frame defines a trainer area immediately forward of the patient area where a therapist can have access to the patient during therapy sessions.
