Abstract

Provided are a system and method for verifying electronic-cigarette authenticity, a smoking set, an electronic cigarette and a storage medium. The system for verifying electronic-cigarette authenticity includes a smoking set and an intelligent device. The smoking set is communicatively connected to the intelligent device. When an electronic cigarette is inserted into the smoking set, the smoking set scans and reads an identifier on the electronic cigarette through a scanning unit in the smoking set to acquire identifier data, transmits the identifier data to the intelligent device, and controls the heating state of the smoking set according to authentication information fed back by the intelligent device. The intelligent device receives the identifier data, decodes the identifier data, performs authenticity authentication on the decoded identifier data to obtain the authentication information, and feeds back the authentication information to the smoking set.
