Abstract (en)

To estimate a state of a flavor source contained in a flavor source such as tobacco in a container without providing a sensor in the container. A flavor component delivery device includes: a flavor container configured to house a flavor source and release a gas and/or aerosol containing a flavor component of the flavor source; a first sensor arranged upstream or downstream of the flavor container in a flow path through the flavor container to a mouthpiece; and a controller configured to estimate a state of the flavor source in the flavor container on a basis of a measurement result of the first sensor.
