1. An aerosol provision system configured to generate aerosol from an aerosol generating material for user inhalation, the system comprising:
a computer configured to:
estimate an increased user demand for an active ingredient within a generated aerosol for a next inhalation action by the user, based on one or more inhalation actions of the user during an immediately preceding inhalation session, an inhalation session being no more than one hour long, wherein the increased user demand is estimated in response to a property of at least a first inhalation action of the user during the immediately preceding inhalation session surpassing a threshold; and
adjust one or more operational parameters of the aerosol provision system responsive to the estimated user demand, to adapt aerosol provision for a next inhalation action.
