An aerosol provision system including a consumable having a plurality of regions of aerosol generating material, and a heater comprising a plurality of heating elements, each heating element corresponding to a region of the plurality of regions of aerosol generating material, wherein in use the heater is arranged to controllably heat at least two of the plurality of regions of aerosol generating material to produce a personalised aerosol for inhalation.

An aerosol delivery device is provided that includes at least one housing structured to retain an aerosol precursor composition. The device includes an atomizer, and a microprocessor configured to operate in an active mode in which the control body is configured to control the atomizer to activate and produce an aerosol from the aerosol precursor composition. And the device includes a heart rate monitor including a plurality of biopotential electrodes affixed to the housing and configured to obtain biopotential measurements from a user, and including signal conditioning circuitry configured to produce an electrocardiogram signal from the biopotential measurements. The microprocessor is coupled to the signal conditioning circuitry and further configured to control operation of at least one functional element of the aerosol delivery device based on the electrocardiogram signal or a heart rate of the user calculated therefrom.

On-demand, hand-held vaporizer that operates primarily by convection. The vaporizer is configured to permit very rapid (e.g., within a few seconds) heating of air drawn through an oven chamber to a predetermined or selectable vaporizing temperature to vaporize a material (e.g., loose leaf plant material, etc.) that is held in the oven chamber. The vaporizer provides efficient transfer of air being heated as well as rapid delivery of vaporizable material to a user.

An aerosol delivery device includes a chamber for receiving an article including an aerosolizable material for delivery by the aerosol delivery device, a transmitter, a receiver spaced apart from the transmitter, and a processor. The processor is configured to: cause the transmitter to transmit a first signal to the receiver at least partially through an article in the chamber in use, so that the receiver receives a second signal, wherein the second signal is the first signal altered by interaction with a signal altering component of the article, and determine article data from the second signal. An article includes an aerosolizable material; and a signal altering component. The signal altering component is configured to alter a first signal transmitted at least partially through the article into a second signal indicative of article data.
