Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for providing risk evaluation and mitigation strategies for use with modified risk products or other tobacco products, and in particular, associated with nicotine and tobacco products.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- sampling, via a sensor, a sample of breath of a user of an electronic vaporizer, the sensor disposed on a mouthpiece of the electronic vaporizer;
- generating, via the sensor, a current corresponding to a level of carbon monoxide gas in the sample of the breath of the user;
- comparing, via electronic circuitry, the corresponding level of the carbon monoxide gas with a threshold to determine whether the user has previously used a tobacco product;
- and
- enabling operation, via the electronic circuitry, of the electronic vaporizer based on determining that the corresponding level of the carbon monoxide gas in the sample of the breath of the user exceeds the threshold.

An electronic vaporizer comprising:
- a sensor configured to sample a user's breath and to generate a current corresponding to a level of carbon monoxide gas in the sample, the sensor disposed on a mouthpiece of the electronic vaporizer;
- and
- electronic circuitry configured to perform operations comprising:
- comparing the corresponding level of the carbon monoxide gas with a threshold to determine whether the user has previously used a tobacco product;
- and
- enabling operation of the electronic vaporizer based on determining that the corresponding level of the carbon monoxide gas in the sample exceeds the threshold.
