“…Notably, this scoping review also identified the determinants of e‐cigarette use among the Nigerian population, and being an older youth, having a health condition, severe anxiety, previous or current tobacco use, peer influence, and current alcohol use were the major determinants identified 54,61,62 . In the course of comparing our findings with those that have been reported in other African countries, through an extensive literature search, we found that no other known study was found to have exclusively reported the determinants of e‐cigarette use in Africa 69,75 . This observation highlights a major research gap that should be a focus for future research considerations in Nigeria and Africa at large.…”

Background and AimsE‐cigarettes will continue to be a public health issue in Nigeria. To curb the growing menace of the e‐cigarette use in Nigeria through evidence‐based approach, it is crucial to first map the empirical research landscape of e‐cigarettes in Nigeria. No known study has mapped the existing empirical evidence and gaps concerning e‐cigarettes in Nigeria; hence, this scoping review was conducted.MethodsThis scoping review adopted the research design by Arksey and O'Malley. Four databases (PubMed, SCOPUS, CINAHL Complete, and APA PsycINFO) were searched to retrieve literature on e‐cigarettes in Nigeria. With the aid of Rayyan web application, all retrieved literature were deduplicated and screened based on the review's eligibility criteria. Only those peer‐reviewed journal papers meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the review. Relevant data from the included papers were charted, collated, and summarized.ResultsA total of six papers were included in this review. The reviewed papers reported a lifetime prevalence of e‐cigarette use (or vaping) ranging from 5.8% to 19.8%, with a current e‐cigarette use prevalence of 11.8%, among different population groups in Nigeria. The major determinants of e‐cigarette use, as reported in these articles, include being a youth, having a health condition, severe anxiety, tobacco use, peer influence, and current alcohol use. Dry mouth and oral lesions (gingival inflammation and oral ulcers) were also identified to be the medical conditions associated with e‐cigarette use in Nigeria. Lastly, one of the included papers identified a lack of clear regulation on e‐cigarettes in Nigeria.ConclusionThere is an urgent need for more scientific investigations on the sociodemographic, economic, health, and regulatory landscape of e‐cigarettes in Nigeria, as robust empirical evidence is needed for the effective planning, implementation, and evaluation of evidence‐based policies and interventions on e‐cigarettes control and regulation in Nigeria.

“…In Africa, to our knowledge, few studies have explored the use of e-cigarettes. On the continent, knowledge levels of between 57% and 79% have been reported [9,10], with a majority of ever users between ages 21-30 years, and a self-reported history of use not exceeding 12 months [11]. Other studies have also detailed the potentially deleterious effect of e-cigarette use in depressing long-term cessation [12].…”

Electronic cigarette use among adolescents and young adults in Nigeria: Prevalence, associated factors and patterns of use

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have emerged in the Nigerian market, and if used without supervision, may have damaging effects on the physical and mental health of users. Therefore, there is a need to determine the patterns of use, especially among adolescents and young adults. This study aims to assess the prevalence and factors associated with electronic cigarette use, as well as the relationship between their use and anxiety among adolescents and young adults in Lagos, Nigeria. Method An online cross-sectional study among participants aged between 15–35 years. The survey had three sections: sociodemographic information, the pattern of e-cigarette use, and a 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scale. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with e-cigarette use. P-values <0.05 were considered significant. Statistical analysis was done using STATA-15.0 software. Results Data from a total of 949 respondents was analysed. Participants had a mean age of 23.36 years (±3.97) and were predominantly female (55.64%). The prevalence of e-cigarette ever-use was 7.9% (95% CI: 5.8,10.0). Older age and being male were independently associated with higher odds of e-cigarette use. After adjusting for age and sex, alcohol use (p<0.001), friend’s use (p<0.001), and other tobacco product or substance use (p:0.05) remained significantly associated with higher odds of e-cigarette use. There was no association between anxiety levels and e-cigarette use. Conclusion These findings suggest a higher likelihood of e-cigarette use among alcohol consumers, poly-tobacco or substance users and individuals with friends who use e-cigarettes. Health providers and policy makers in Nigeria might consider preventive measures aimed at young adults with the identified risk factors, as well as close monitoring of trends in e-cigarette use in the coming years.

“…It is essential to highlight that most recent studies in Sub-Saharan Africa have relatively investigated the use of e-cigarettes (Agaku et al, 2021a(Agaku et al, , 2021bNaidoo et al, 2021). Others have explored HTPs versus combustible cigarette sales volume (Agaku et al, 2021c) but from a clinical, health and tobacco control perspective.…”

Purpose What factors trigger innovation adoption of heated tobacco products (HTPs) in an emerging economy? The study aims to integrate the diffusion of innovation and consumer resistance theory to develop a framework to measure the adoption of HTPs. Design/methodology/approach The study used a self-administered questionnaire, and the data was collected from 272 respondents. The study used the covariance-based structural equation modelling. Findings The findings suggest that relative advantage, compatibility, trialability, observability and perceived cost significantly affect innovation adoption of HTPs. Research limitations/implications The study provides theoretical and practical implications for researchers and the tobacco industry. Originality/value The study, if not the only, is among the few in an emerging economy that explores heated tobacco products adoption by integrating the diffusion of innovation and consumer innovation resistance theory.
