Tobacco is a favorite product frequently used by smokers, and it contains a large amount of various harmful substances such as nicotine, which is harmful to the human body, causing various diseases such as lung cancer and circulatory diseases (burger disease caused by laryngeal cancer and vasoconstriction). Not recommended. In addition, smoking cessation areas are greatly expanded because of the effects of secondhand smoke even to people who do not smoke, but it is very difficult for lovers to quit smoking habitually because of their addiction.

Recently, electronic cigarettes have been developed and marketed for smoking cessation aids, which have similar effects to actual cigarettes. The electronic cigarette generally vaporizes the liquid essence to which the fragrance component is added to generate steam (smoke) as a substitute for existing cigarette smoke, thereby providing the user with a feeling similar to smoking a real cigarette.

At this time, the generated steam may contain a substance such as nicotine or tar, or may not contain any substance at all. Recently, many attempts have been made to adopt a liquid essence to which a fragrance ingredient is added so as not to give harm to the human body. Steam is generated by vaporizing the liquid essence through a heating method using an electric heating line or an ultrasonic vibration type.

A variety of techniques for heating electronic cigarettes are disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2012-0074596 (Publication Date: 2012. 07. 06), Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2012-0113513 (Publication Date: October 15, 2012) Practical Application No. 20-2011-0010862 (Published on November 22, 2011), Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2013-0000595 (Published Date: March 2013, 2013).

The operation characteristics of the heating type electronic cigarette according to the related art having such a configuration will be described as follows.

When the user operates the switch installed on the electronic cigarette and power is supplied from the battery to the electrothermal coil, the core is heated by the electrothermal coil so that the liquid essence introduced into the core from the liquid tank is heated It is vaporized to produce steam. The steam generated in this way is sucked into the user's mouth through the suction table of the electronic cigarette to give the user the feeling of smoking a real cigarette.

The wick inhaling the liquid essence is accommodated inside the main body of the electronic cigarette in a state of being partially put into the liquid tank, or when the user uses the electronic cigarette, the user inserts the wick into the main body. In order to heat the wick, both ends of the heating coil should be electrically connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the battery. Problems such as the inability to use e-cigarettes due to damage to the contacts have frequently occurred.

Further, in the electronic cigarette according to the prior art, the contact switch for switching the electrical connection between the heating coil and the battery is usually operated in the button method, in this way, in the electronic cigarette with the contact switch, the user can store the electronic cigarette in the pocket At this time, the contact switch is unknowingly pressed to supply power to the heating coil, which causes the heating coil to overheat, causing a problem such as a burn to the user.
