Abstract
An aerosol delivery device includes at least one housing structured to retain an aerosol precursor composition, and an atomizer. A microprocessor is configured to operate in an active mode in which the control body is configured to control the atomizer to activate and produce an aerosol from the aerosol precursor composition. A heart rate monitor is configured to obtain biopotential measurements from a user, the biopotential measurements forming an identifier of the user. The microprocessor is operably coupled with the heart rate monitor and is configured to perform a biometric authentication of the user based on the identifier, and to control operation of at least one functional element of the aerosol delivery device based on the biopotential measurements, with the controlling operation of at least one functional element including altering a locked state of the aerosol delivery device based on the biometric authentication.
