Abstract
An aerosol generating device includes a battery, a capacitive sensor, a controller, a first conductive element, a second conductive element, and a heater, wherein the controller is configured to control power supplied from the battery to the heater based on an order of a first time point at which the capacitive sensor senses contact of a user through the first conductive element and a second time point at which the capacitive sensor senses contact of the user through the second conductive element.
