Specifically, in this embodiment, when the user smokes, the internal air pressure of the electronic cigarette becomes small, and when the airflow sensor detects that the internal air pressure of the electronic cigarette decreases, the trigger signal is sent to the microprocessor, and the trigger signal is sent. It is used to characterize the action of the user to smoke electronic cigarettes. It can be understood that the airflow sensor for detecting the flow rate of the airflow can detect the action of the user to smoke the electronic cigarette. Therefore, the detection manner of the airflow sensor is not specifically limited herein.

102, the microprocessor determines whether the number of times the airflow sensor is triggered in the first preset time period is greater than or equal to the first preset value, if not, proceed to step 103, and if so, proceed to step 104;
