Globally, the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) among adolescents remains to increase. E-cigarette use in Yogyakarta City is the highest in Indonesia. Research needs to be conducted as a database for policymaking on tobacco control, especially the use of e-cigarettes in the community.This study aimed to describe the pattern of the use of e-cigarettes among adolescents. Furthermore, analyzing the relationship between age, sex, and knowledge about the dangers of e-cigarettes with e-cigarette use among adolescents. This research used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design in Yogyakarta city. There were 210 adolescents as the sample by stratified cluster sampling strategy. Seven equivalent high schools were selected as research locations. The selection of schools performed with the lottery. The variables included age, sex, and knowledge.

Data analysis was carried out by univariate and bivariate using SPSS 22 applications.The number of adolescents who smoked was 85 (40,5%), and the use of e-cigarettes was 51 (24,3%). The pattern of e-cigarettes use among adolescents is divided into four: using conventional cigarettes 34 (16,2%), using e-cigarettes 18 (4,3%) ; using e-cigarettes and conventional 33 (15,7%), and never using both 125 (59,5%). The majority of respondents received information about e-cigarettes from their peers 150 (71,4%).

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) use is trending in Thailand. Electronic cigarettes are banned and illegally imported. This study aimed to investigate the behaviour, rationale, and satisfaction of e-cigarettes users and compared them between males and females. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 1050 participants using e-cigarettes from December 2019 to February 2020. The participants were recruited by an online questionnaire posted on social media. The participants were current e-cigarettes users aged 18 years and older. Of 1050 participants, 936 were male (89.1%). The average age was 31.2 ± 8.4 years. The participants were from all regions of the country, but most (64.5%) were from central Thailand. Most e-cigarettes users comprised private employees (43.2%). The main source of e-cigarettes in Thailand is online sources such as social media. Tank-style e-cigarettes were popular among users. Amongst e-cigarettes users, the top three rationales for using e-cigarettes were fewer harmful effects from e-cigarettes than conventional cigarettes (81.0%), smoking cessation aids (80.6%), and their lack of attaching cigarette odour (58.2%). The top three reasons for satisfaction were using e-cigarettes as a conventional cigarette cessation aid (5.1 ± 1.3), lessening cravings for conventional cigarettes (5.1 ± 1.3), and reducing conventional cigarettes withdrawal symptoms (5.0 ± 1.3). Online purchase was the main source of e-cigarettes in Thailand. The general rationale for using electronic cigarettes was that they are less harmful and to quit conventional cigarettes. Thai users were satisfied to use e-cigarettes as a conventional cigarette cessation aid. Males and females differed in behaviour, rationale, and satisfaction of e-cigarettes. Public health organisations should provide accurate information about the harm of electronic cigarettes and their efficacy for tobacco cessation.
