Abstract

A non-burning type flavor inhaler includes an aerosol source that generates an aerosol; an atomizer that atomizes the aerosol source without burning; a power source that supplies power to the atomizer; a light-emitting element; and a control unit that controls the light-emitting element. The control unit controls the light-emitting element in a first light-emitting mode in a puff state inhaling the aerosol, and controls the light-emitting element in a second light-emitting mode different from the first light-emitting mode in a non-puff state not inhaling the aerosol. The second light-emitting mode changes according to a number of puff actions for inhaling the aerosol.
