Original Abstract Submitted

An aerosol-generating device is disclosed. The aerosol-generating device of the disclosure includes a housing having an elongated insertion space defined therein so as to be elongated, a door configured to open and close the elongated insertion space, a magnetic sensor configured to detect a magnetic field corresponding to the door, a capacitance sensor disposed adjacent to the elongated insertion space, and a controller. The controller determines whether an object is inserted into the elongated insertion space using the magnetic sensor, and determines whether the object inserted into the elongated insertion space is a stick using the capacitance sensor.
