Abstract: A method for detecting the number of puffs of an electronic cigarette, includes sampling a real-time temperature of a heating unit, and determining a temperature difference; integrating the temperature difference in time to obtain an integral value I; calculating a first limit H according to the integral value I; and judging whether the real-time integral value I is beyond the first limit value H, if yes, determining that one puff of smoking happens. The method calculates a limit value that is a real-time value and varied with the change trend and change amplitude of the temperature difference. When the environment or the usage habit changes, the corresponding first limit can still be calculated according to the integral value of the current temperature difference to accurately determine the smoking behavior, thereby effectively improving the detection accuracy of the number of puffs of smoking.
