An electronic cigarette and a control method thereof are disclosed. The electronic cigarette defines an airflow channel and has a heating assembly. The control method includes: sensing a pressure or pressure difference in the airflow channel to generate a corresponding electrical signal; generating a corresponding control signal according to the electrical signal; and generating a corresponding output power according to the control signal and outputting the power to the heating assembly. The electronic cigarette and control method thereof obtain the inhalation force of a user by sensing the pressure or pressure difference in the airflow channel and then adjust the output power automatically. The user experience is improved.
