1. A method for an aerosol delivery device, the method comprising:
creating, using a wireless communication interface of the aerosol delivery device, a connectionless-state advertising packet, wherein the advertising packet is configured to provide information which is to be used by a remote wireless device to construct a response packet in such a manner that the aerosol delivery device will understand that the aerosol delivery device is the intended recipient of the response packet;
transmitting the advertising packet to the remote wireless device, via the wireless communication interface;
using, at the remote wireless device, the information from the advertising packet to send a response packet to the aerosol delivery device in the form of a connectionless-state request packet, wherein the connectionless-state request packet is constructed in such a manner that the aerosol delivery device will understand that the aerosol delivery device is the intended recipient of the connectionless-state request packet; and
receiving, at the aerosol delivery device, the connectionless-state request packet from the remote wireless device, via the wireless communication interface of the aerosol delivery device.
