Abstract
An aerosol generating device may include: a heater; a wetting detection module configured to generate a wetting signal by being electrically shorted as the wetting detection module comes into contact with a liquid introduced from outside the aerosol generating device or a liquid leaked from inside the aerosol generating device; and a control circuit configured to determine whether the wetting signal indicating an electrical short has been received from the wetting detection module, and control the heater based on a determination that the wetting signal has been received.
