PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique to make movement of an aerosol to the lungs easy and a device designed such. SOLUTION: An aerosolization device 10 has a housing 26 with a mouthpiece 14, an aerosol generator 16, a flow sensor 32, and a controller 28. The controller 28 is configured to begin operation of the aerosol generator 16 upon receipt of a signal from the flow sensor 32 indicating that a threshold flow rate is achieved by a user when inhaling a tidal breath through the mouthpiece 14, and to stop operation after the passage of an operation time which is selected such that continuation of the tidal breath delivers substantially all of the aerosol to the lungs.
