Benefits of technology

[0008]In some instances, the simple act of informing the user regarding nicotine consumption may reduce the nicotine consumption of the user. In other instances, the user may want to be restricted from exceeding a predetermined maximum nicotine consumption level. Accordingly, the electronic nicotine delivery device may restrict the amount of nicotine consumed by the user based on a predetermined nicoti

Problems solved by technology

Traditional cigarettes, by way of the smoke itself, create a self-limiting maximum rate of nicotine consumption because inhaling traditional cigarette smoke at an increased rate creates levels of discomfort (for example, coughing, carbon monoxide, heat from the smoke, etc.).
The electronic nicotine delivery device, however, poses a risk of increased nicotine consumption because the

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 970,23S, filed Mar. 25, 2014, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]This disclosure relates to an electronic nicotine delivery device having a nicotine dosage sensor configured to determine and / or regulate an amount of nicotine delivered by the electronic nicotine delivery device.[0004]2. Background of the Invention[0005]Electronic nicotine delivery devices (such as electronic cigarettes, vaporizers, and tobacco furnaces) are a widely popular means of nicotine delivery. Because they are more analogous to traditional cigarettes than other nicotine delivery devices like gums or patches, it is easier for most users to transition from traditional cigarettes to electronic nicotine delivery devices.[0006]Traditional cigarettes, by way of the smoke itself, create a self-limiting maximum rate of nicotine...
