Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a smoking substitute device and particularly, although not exclusively, to a smoking substitute device and a method of communicating usage of a smoking substitute device to a user. Current smoking substitute devices may not be adapted to signal the extent of the use of the smoking substitute device to a user. Accordingly, there is provided a smoking substitute device, comprising a sensor element adapted to detect usage of the smoking substitute device by the user, and at least one signalling element adapted to provide a signal to a user, wherein the signalling element is adapted to provide the signal to the user after a defined non-use time period of the smoking substitute device.
