An electronic cigarette control method, wherein a memory of the electronic cigarette stores a first preset value and a second preset value which are relating to an amount of e-liquid, and available smoking time updated after each smoking to indicate the amount of current remaining e-liquid of the electronic cigarette, the second preset value is less than the first preset value;

• the method comprising following steps:
• S1, reading the available smoking time when an atomization circuit of the electronic cigarette is in a turn-off state and the electronic cigarette detects a user's smoking action;
• S2, determining whether or not the available smoking time is equal to or less than the first preset value to obtain a first determination result;
• S3, outputting a prompt message to remind the user that e-liquid is almost to be exhausted, and outputting the available smoking time and/or available smoking times of the electronic cigarette, when the first determination result is YES;
• S4, determining whether the available smoking time is greater than the second preset value to obtain a second determination result;
• S5, controlling the atomization circuit to stay in the turn-off state when the second determination result is NO.
