“…While other studies mainly grouped e-cigarette advertising into 4 sources, including internet, newspaper/magazines, retail stores, and TV 2 , 14 , 16 , 17 ; our study divided into more various advertising sources including from restaurant/hotel/café/bar; sports/music/community events; outdoor posters/billboards; watching movies/music videos or from invitation of referral marketer, which was relevant to other studies conducted in Vietnam on tobacco advertising exposure among various age groups. 21 , 25 The absence of the advertising ban of new tobacco products including e-cigarettes, as well as the hesitation in banning new tobacco products in Vietnam could be explained for the challenges in controlling the advertisement of e-cigarettes in Vietnam. Therefore, by identifying these specific advertising sources, interventions can find the most appropriate way to interact with the young people to reduce their exposure to e-cigarette advertising, and therefore contributing to reduce access to and use of e-cigarettes.…”

BACKGROUND E-cigarette products have become more popular due to the marketing campaigns on various sources but caused adverse health impacts to users, especially adolescents and youths. This paper aims to describe the situation of exposure to e-cigarette advertisements of youth and adolescents living in two cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh in 2020 and identify the associated factors of e-cigarette marketing with e-cigarettes use in these groups. METHODOLOGY This was a cross-sectional study. The study participants were 1211 youth and adolescents aged 15-24 living in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City during the time of data collection (from January 2020 to September 2020). Two primary outcome variables included the ever e-cigarettes use and the intention to use e-cigarettes. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to assess the association between the outcome variables and e-cigarette marketing exposure. RESULTS The proportion of participants who ever use e-cigarettes was 7.4% and a proportion of 4.8% have intention to use e-cigarettes. The most popular source of exposure to e-cigarettes advertisements was social network (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, etc.) and this source had positive association with the odds of e-cigarette smoking among youth and adolescents (OR = 3.38, 95% CI: 1.59-7.14). In addition, referral marketers also contributed to making the participants more likely to smoke e-cigarettes (OR = 2.68, 95% CI: 1.03-6.95). Attractive color and free sample of e-cigarettes were also found to be the motivated factors associated with smoking behaviour among youth and adolescents. CONCLUSIONS New policies should be considered to oppose the impact of youth-oriented e-cigarette advertisements which include regulating and restricting e-cigarette advertisements on social media, as well as through referral marketers.

Little is known about vaping and its associated factors among Asian adolescents worldwide. We did a scoping review of the international literature on vaping among Asian adolescents. The prevalence of Asian adolescent vaping varied by the country’s e-cigarette policies: the highest prevalence in Indonesia 32.2% (ever vapers) and 11.8% (current vapers) in 2019 and the lowest in Japan with 2.1% to 3.5% (ever vapers) and 0.7% to 1.0% (current vapers) in 2017. In New Zealand, a Western country with strong tobacco control but liberal policies on vaping, the prevalence of ever vaping was 20.4%, regular vaping 4.2%, and weekly vaping 2.8% in 2019. The most common reasons for vaping in both contexts were curiosity and peer influence. The internet as a popular source of information on vaping was identified mostly in Asian studies. In Asian contexts, the most common reasons for more frequent vaping were the desire to quit smoking and the ability to vape indoors, whereas in Western countries, the top three reasons were nicotine concentration, nicotine dependence, and more daily vaping sessions. Regular monitoring and more targeted research to understand adolescents’ vaping behaviors will need to be undertaken on this heterogeneous population to inform appropriate policies and regulations.

Background:The associations between multiple tobacco products, such as combustible cigarettes (CCs), heated tobacco products (HTPs), and electronic cigarettes (ECs), and mental health status among Korean adolescents have not been extensively studied. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between single or multiple uses of tobacco products and mental health indices among Korean adolescents. Methods: Data from the 2022 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey were analyzed, and participants included 51,850 individuals aged 13-18 years. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. Results: Of the total participants, 28.8%, 12.7%, and 17.6% reported depressive mood, anxiety, and loneliness, respectively. After adjusting for confounding variables, the CC or EC single users showed a greater likelihood of having depressive mood (odds ratio [OR], 1.65 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.41-1.93] or 1.86 [95% CI, 1.44-2.41]), anxiety (OR, 1.38 [95% CI,] or 1.40 [95% CI, 1.01-1.93]), and loneliness (OR, 1.75 [95% CI, or 1.78 [95% CI,) than never users. The dual (i.e., CC and EC) and triple (i.e., CC, EC, and HTP) users were also significantly associated with mental health status, whereas HTP-only users were not. Depressive mood, anxiety, and loneliness were associated with former users. Triple use was associated with a poor mental health status. Conclusion: Considering the poor mental health status and increasing trend of using multiple tobacco products among Korean adolescents, tobacco control policies should monitor the effects of different products.
