Description:
Introduction: E-cigarettes, also known as electronic cigarettes, pose a new public health challenge. Their growing popularity and availability have raised concerns about potential health risks for young people. Vaping may also become a new addiction among young people.  Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the popularity of e-cigarette use among high school students and factors that influence vaping. Adolescents' knowledge of chemical composition of e-cigarettes and side effects was analyzed.  Materials and methods: The survey was conducted among 323 people in the age range of 15 to 19 years old. The study group consisted of students from one of the high schools in Krosno. An anonymous online survey was used to conduct the study. Results: 59% of the youth surveyed had tried an e-cigarette. 35,7% of non-smokers say they want to try vaping in the future. Most adolescents start their tobacco initiation with e-cigarettes. 62,2% are passive smokers and regularly inhale the vapor. 89% say it is easy to access e-cigarettes. Young people are aware of the harmfulness of e-cigarettes - 88,2%, and that they should not be used during pregnancy - 97%. Conclusions: High school students are very likely to use e-cigarettes. Every other student has used them actively or passively. Increasing students' awareness of the side effects of vaping and identifying symptoms of addiction. Conversations with a pediatrician and health education lessons at school could have a huge impact on the decrease in e-cigarette usage by the youth.
