Abstract (en)

An aerosol generating system (10) for generating an aerosol for inhalation by a user. The aerosol generating system (10) comprising an aerosol generating device (12). The aerosol generating device (12) comprises a heating assembly (13), including a heating compartment (15), and a controller (14). The aerosol generating system (10) further comprises an aerosol generating article (16) receivable in the heating compartment (13). The aerosol generating article (16) comprises an aerosol generating substrate and a disabling element (20). The disabling element (20) is configured such that a single use of the aerosol generating article (16) causes a temperature induced change of shape of the disabling element (20) from a first shape configuration (22) to a second shape configuration (24). The controller (14) is configured to detect the shape of the disabling element (20) and to render the aerosol generating device (12) inoperable before initiation of a vaping session if the second shape configuration (24) is detected.
