A smoking system that smoothly switches between a charge mode and a direct heating mode is provided with: a secondary device with a load for atomizing an aerosol source or heating a flavor source and a power source capable of supplying power to the load; a primary device which, when connected to the secondary device, is capable of supplying power to the load and the power source; and a control unit capable of executing a first mode in which the power is supplied from the primary device to the load and a second mode in which the power is supplied from the primary device to the power source. During a first transition, which is from the first mode to the second mode, and/or a second transition, which is from the second mode to the first mode, the control unit executes, in a time between the modes, a transition mode involving a transition time for changing a preset variable relating to power supply.
