Abstract (en)

[Problem] To provide a mechanism which makes it possible to further improve the quality of experience using an inhalation device.[Solution] Provided is an inhalation device comprising a heating part for heating a base material to generate an aerosol and a control part for controlling operation of the heating part on the basis of a heating profile in which a time series transition of a target temperature is specified, the target temperature being a target value for the temperature of the heating part, wherein: the heating profile includes a plurality of time sections continuous along a time axis; for each of the plurality of time sections, the target temperature at the end of each time section is set; the heating profile includes a stepwise temperature rise section comprising a plurality of the time sections; and the target temperature set for each of the plurality of time sections included in the stepwise temperature rise section is equal to or higher than the target temperature set for the time section which immediately precedes each time section.
