“…According to the results, the trend of lifetime and current prevalence of e-cigarettes vaping in adolescents has been increasing, for example, the lifetime prevalence rate in the UK has increased from 22% in 2014 to 25% in 2016 [161], also the current prevalence rate in the United States has increased rapidly from 1.5% in 2011 to 20.8% in 2018 [162]. In various studies, a positive relationship has been found between the amounts of monthly allowance given by parents to their adolescent children, so as much as the amount of money is higher, the probability of e-cigarettes vaping is also higher by children [144,[163][164][165] and this factor could have been a reason to increase e-cigarettes vaping. Another reason for increasing the prevalence of e-cigarettes vaping could be the use of e-cigarettes to quitting conventional cigarette by adolescents.…”

Background The purpose of this systematic review study was to determine the national, regional, and global prevalence of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) vaping. Method The articles were searched in July 2020 without a time limit in Web of Science (ISI), Scopus, PubMed, and Ovid-MEDLINE. At first, the titles and abstracts of the articles were reviewed, and if they were appropriate, they entered the second stage of screening. In the second stage, the whole articles were reviewed and articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected. In this study, search, selection of studies, qualitative evaluation, and data extraction were performed by two authors independently, and any disagreement between the two authors was reviewed and corrected by a third author. Results In this study, the lifetime and current prevalence of e-cigarettes vaping globally were 23% and 11%, respectively. Lifetime and current prevalence of e-cigarettes vaping in women were 16% and 8%, respectively. Also, lifetime and current prevalence of e-cigarettes vaping in men were 22% and 12%, respectively. In this study, the current prevalence of e-cigarettes vaping in who had lifetime smoked conventional cigarette was 39%, and in current smokers was 43%. The lifetime prevalence of e-cigarettes vaping in the Continents of America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania were 24%, 26%, 16%, and 25%, respectively. The current prevalence of e-cigarettes vaping in the Continents of America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania were 10%, 14%, 11%, and 6%, respectively. Conclusions Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the popularity of e-cigarettes is increasing globally. Therefore, it is necessary for countries to have more control over the consumption and distribution of e-cigarettes, as well as to formulate the laws prohibiting about the e-cigarettes vaping in public places. There is also a need to design and conduct information campaigns to increase community awareness about e-cigarettes vaping.

“…According to the National Health Examination Survey (NHES), from 2019 to 2020, 2.9% of Thais aged 10–19 years currently used e-cigarettes 27 . A similar finding was reported in the study about students’ e-cigarette use in different vocational education schemes 28 . This finding of a higher percentage of vocational students using e-cigarettes could be because the vocational education program aims to enhance students’ vocational skills.…”

INTRODUCTION The use of e-cigarettes has steadily increased, and vocational students are one primary target of e-cigarette marketing. This cross-sectional survey research aimed to explore e-cigarette use and examine the factors associated with it. METHODS Multistage cluster random sampling was employed to select 1536 students in vocational education institutions. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data from September to December 2019. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to obtain the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) to determine the associated factors of e-cigarette use. RESULTS Altogether, 28.7% of the subjects were currently e-cigarette users, 7.4% used e-cigarettes only, and 21.3% were dual users. Various factors were found to be significantly associated with e-cigarette use by 43.7%. Those consisted of sex (male) (AOR=2.183; 95% CI: 1.510–3.157), grade point average (GPA) of <2.5 (AOR=2.363; 95% CI: 1.502–3.717), having neutral attitudes toward e-cigarette use (AOR=2.676; 95% CI: 1.499–4.779) and positive attitudes toward e-cigarette use (AOR=4.171; 95% CI: 2.250–7.734), moderate level of perceived behavioral control on e-cigarette use (AOR=3.520; 95% CI: 2.287–5.418) and low level of perceived behavioral control on e-cigarettes use (AOR=4.959; 95% CI: 3.274–7.511), moderate price of e-cigarettes (AOR=1.436; 95% CI: 1.009–2.044), and e-cigarette use of their parents (AOR=1.827; 95% CI: 1.137–2.938), close friends (AOR=4.327; 95% CI: 2.954–6.338) and idols (AOR=4.604; 95% CI: 1.844–11.497). CONCLUSIONS Students should be encouraged to develop negative attitudes toward e-cigarette use and increase their self-confidence to control the use of e-cigarettes. This can be achieved by regularly distributing information on the product’s risks. Moreover, students can find inspiration and guidance from peers, close friends, or their idols, who will act as positive role models and inspire them not to initiate e-cigarette use.

“…Ever EC use increased from 1.8 to 7.1% in never smoking adolescents over 17 months in 2014–15 in Argentina, and 6.5% of Mexican adolescents had ever used ECs in 2016 [ 18 , 19 ]. China had one of the highest smoking rates in the world (52.1% current smoking in males in 2015), [ 20 ] but the prevalence of EC use was relatively low, with 3.1% adults in 2015 and 5.2% adolescents in 2017 being ever users [ 20 , 21 ]. EC awareness in urban adult smokers increased from 29% in 2009 to 60% in 2015, and 70.6% middle and high school students were aware of ECs in 2017 in China [ 22 , 23 ].…”

Background Tobacco advertisements have been banned in Hong Kong, but low intensity e-cigarette (EC) advertising can still be found in various media outlets. We investigated the associations between exposure to EC advertising and susceptibility to EC use in adolescents who had never used cigarettes or ECs, with potential mediation by attitudes towards ECs and the tobacco industry. Methods The School-based Smoking Survey 2016/17 assessed exposure to EC advertising in the past 30 days, attitudes towards ECs and the tobacco industry, susceptibility to EC use, and other covariates. Generalised linear mixed models and multiple mediation analysis methods were used in data analyses. Results Among 7082 students (mean age 14.9 years), 28.8% reported exposure to EC advertising. Exposure was associated with being uncertain about the harm of EC use, being tolerant towards ECs, believing the tobacco industry is respectable, and being susceptible to EC use; the magnitudes of these associations increased with the number of types of advertising exposed (0, 1, and ≥ 2) (all p -values < 0.01). These attitudinal factors were in turn associated with EC use susceptibility (all p-values < 0.001). The perception that tobacco companies make youth smoke was not associated with the advertising exposure or EC use susceptibility. Of the total effects of EC advertising on use susceptibility, only 16.6% were mediated by attitudinal factors: perceived harm (3.1%), attitudes towards ECs (8.2%), and attitudes towards the tobacco industry (4.9%). Conclusions Even exposure to low intensity EC advertising was associated with susceptibility to EC use in adolescents who had never used cigarettes or ECs. The association was weakly mediated by tolerant attitudes towards ECs and the tobacco industry. The government should reinforce the regulations on EC advertising to protect adolescent health.
