1. A system for verifying an identity of a user of a nicotine dispenser, the system comprising:
a nicotine dispenser configured to remain locked until an identification signal has been received, the nicotine dispenser configured to communicate via a wireless communication link and to unlock use of the nicotine dispenser responsive to receiving the identification signal;
a personal communication device in communication with the nicotine dispenser via the wireless communication link, and having an application configured to perform verification of identification data of a user, the application having stored an association of the identification data of the user with the nicotine dispenser;
wherein the application is configured to:
scan the identification data of the user;
responsive to determining that the identification data of the user is verifiable, and responsive to determining that the identification data satisfies a first verification technique, retrieve information stored in a user profile that indicates the user is associated with the nicotine dispenser and comprises verified user information, wherein the user profile identifies an ape of the user;
perform a second verification technique based on the verified user information in the user profile, including one of facial recognition or vocal recognition, via one or more sensors at the personal communication device;
generate the identification signal responsive to the user profile including the indication that the user is associated with the nicotine dispenser and responsive to both the first verification technique and the second verification technique being satisfied; and
responsive to generating the identification signal, communicate the identification signal to the nicotine dispenser via the wireless communication link;
provide, upon detecting use of the nicotine dispenser via the wireless communication link, a notification of use to a third-party computing device, the notification comprising location data of the nicotine dispenser during the use of the nicotine dispenser;
responsive to the third-party computing device detecting overuse of the nicotine dispenser based on the location data, receive, from the third-party computing device, an indication that the nicotine dispenser is to be locked; and
responsive to the indication, transmit a lock signal to the nicotine dispenser, causing a processor of the nicotine dispenser to prevent transmission of electrical power to a nicotine-containing unit of the nicotine dispenser.
