Abstract
An aerosol generating device includes: an accommodation portion configured to accommodate an aerosol generating article through an opening; and a deformation guiding portion that comes into contact with one end of the aerosol generating article when the aerosol generating article is inserted into an accommodation portion. The deformation guiding portion deforms the one end of the aerosol generating article when the aerosol generating article is inserted for the first time into the accommodation portion such that the aerosol generating device detects whether an aerosol generating article is being reused based on whether its end is deformed or not.
