Abstract
Aerosol delivery devices disclosed herein seek to help address or reduce some of the issues associated with accidental/unintended activation of an aerosol delivery device. This is done in some example implementations by control circuitry controlling when an aerosol delivery device switches between different modes based on signaling received from a motion sensor and an airflow sensor. The control circuitry can determine from motion detection signals when there is a tapping event corresponding to the device being tapped by a user and to determine from airflow detection signals when there is an airflow event corresponding a flow of air in the device.
