Abstract: An aerosol generating device measures a current temperature of a heater before power is supplied to the heater that heats an aerosol generating material, and sets a preheating completion parameter, based on the measured current temperature of the heater, and a value of an amount of heat required to be supplied to the aerosol generating material to generate an adequate amount of aerosol. The aerosol generating device controls power supplied to the heater, based on the preheating completion parameter, such that a value of an amount of heat supplied to the aerosol generating material by the heater reaches the value of the amount of heat required to be supplied to the aerosol generating material.
