• a sensor for detecting attaching of the panel to the housing, and measuring a quantity of magnetic force applied by a magnetic field applicator on the panel;
• a memory for storing plural operation profiles, wherein each of said plural operation profiles is pre-associated with a different quantity of magnetic force;
• and
• a controller for specifying a specific one of said plural operation profiles based on the quantity of magnetic force measured by the sensor, and operating the inhaler in accordance with the specified operation profile;
• wherein said operation profile defines at least one of a heating temperature transition for the heater or a notification pattern for a notifier of the inhaler.
