Abstract

An atomization assembly ( 1 ) and an electronic cigarette are provided. The atomization assembly ( 1 ) comprises an atomization sleeve ( 10 ) and an atomization base ( 11 ) disposed in the atomization sleeve ( 10 ). An airflow channel ( 15 ) allowing a smoke airflow to flow is disposed in the atomization sleeve ( 10 ). A ventilation hole ( 100 ) in communication with the airflow channel ( 15 ) is disposed in the atomization base ( 11 ). The atomization assembly ( 1 ) also comprises a one-way valve ( 120 ) used for preventing the airflow from flowing towards a battery assembly ( 2 ). The one-way valve ( 120 ) is mounted in the ventilation hole ( 100 ) or on an outer side of one end of the ventilation hole ( 100 ) and is corresponding to the ventilation hole ( 100 ) in position. The airflow is prevented from flowing towards the battery assembly ( 2 ), and accordingly, mistaken control of a control module ( 21 ) in the battery assembly ( 2 ) can be prevented.
