An aerosol generating apparatus includes a heater housing including an air circulation hole provided around an inlet through which a cigarette is inserted and an air circulation groove connected to the air circulation hole, and a heater assembled in the heater housing to heat the cigarette, wherein the heater housing includes an air circulation space formed between an outer surface of the cigarette and the air circulation groove.

Provided is a smart inhaler, headset and wearable smart mask configured to operate as an air ionizer and a controlled multi-liquid atomizer. The smart mask, headset and smart inhaler use a mature technology to deliver various types of liquid solutions to different applications from health care, drug delivery, immunization to recreational and gaming uses. In addition, the smart mask and headset contain multiple actuators to provide haptic feedback to the areas around the mask and headset. The headset, smart mask and inhaler have a direct communication path to a smart device or it can be a smart device by itself; its various environmental and gas sensors act as a feedback mechanism. The detection level of the organic and non-organic VOC gas emitted when exhaling can be communicated and stored for analysis purposes. The detected gas can be regenerated on the same smart mask or a different remote smart mask.
