The present invention is disclosed an electronic cigarette and an atomization control method thereof. The electronic cigarette comprises an atomization assembly, a battery assembly, a control module electrically connected to the power source in the battery assembly, a heating wire assembly in the atomization assembly, and an airflow sensor for transmitting a smoking signal to the control module when it is detected that a user is smoking. The present invention has the beneficial effects that the electronic cigarette is actuated after the airflow sensor is triggered when conductors arranged at different positions are in contact with the human skin, so as to reduce probability of false triggering of the electronic cigarette; and during use, this structure conforms to the users' habit of smoking by holding the battery assembly in their fingers and holding the suction nozzle in their mouths, which is convenient for the user and improves the user experience.
