Benefits of technology

[0007]In some instances, the simple act of informing the user regarding nicotine / THC consumption may reduce the nicotine / THC consumption of the user. In other instances, the user may want to be restricted from exceeding a predetermined maximum nicotine / THC consumption level. Accordingly, the alternative nicotine / THC delivery device may restrict the amount of nicotine / THC consumed by the user based on a predetermined nicotine / THC consumption amount or user input.
[0008]Exemplary embodiments of the present invention may enable an alternative nicotine delivery device to be classified as a smoking cessation device rather than a simple nicotine delivery system. This classification may enable the alternative nicotine delivery device to be purchased through health insurance providers and / or avoid the burdens of additional regulation.

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 alternative nicotine delivery device, however, poses a risk of increased nicotine consumption because the almost-sensationless effect of inhaling the vaporized nicotine solution does not have the self-limiting side effects of traditional cigarettes.
Due to inconsistency in manufacturing, the amount of nicotine delivered by each alternative nicotine delivery device may vary from unit to unit.
Therefore, nicotine consumption per alternative nicotine delivery device cannot be reliably tracked.

Abstract

A software-controlled alternative nicotine / THC delivery device. A processor determines instructions for providing a first inhalation containing a first vaporizable solution and a second inhalation containing a second vaporizable solution (the first vaporizable solution comprising a first substance, the second vaporizable solution comprising a second substance and not the first substance), provides a plurality of inhalations from an alternative nicotine / THC delivery device, receives user input regarding the delivery of the first vaporizable solution and the second vaporizable solution, and modifies the instructions for providing the inhalations from the alternative nicotine / THC delivery device based on the user input.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 533,874, frledNov. 5, 2014, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 483,828, filed Sep. 11, 2014, which claims priority to U.S. Prov. Pat. Appl. No. 61 / 970,238, filed Mar. 25, 2014, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUNDField of the Invention[0002]This disclosure relates to an inhalation sensor configured to determine and / or regulate an amount of nicotine and / or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) delivered by the alternative nicotine / THC delivery device.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Alternative 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...
