Abstract

Amaç: Elektronik sigara (e-sigara), elektrik gücü ile çalışan içinde çeşitli maddeler, aroma vericiler ile birlikte nikotinin kullanıcı tarafından inhale edilmesini sağlayan cihazlardır. Popülerliği gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Biz bu çalışmada hastanemiz Göğüs hastalıkları kliniğine başvuran hastaların, hem e-sigara hem de geleneksel sigara içme alışkanlıklarını, e-sigaraya bakış açılarını ve demografik özelliklerinin e-sigara ile ilgili düşüncelerine nasıl yansıdığını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Kliniğimize başvuran 150 erkek hasta çalışmaya alındı. Grup I, kontrol grubu olup, sigara içmeyen sağlıklı bireyler (n:50); Grup II, kronik bronşitli (n:50) ve Grup III, KOAH (Kronik obstruktif akciğer hastalığı) olan (n:50) hastalardan oluşturuldu. Hastaların demografik verileri ve solunum fonksiyon testi değerleri ile sigara içme alışkanlıkları kayıt altına alındı.
Bulgular: Grup III’ de e-sigara kullanma oranı Grup II’ deki 17 hastaya göre daha yüksekti (p<0.05). Üç grupta e-sigarayı ağırlıklı olarak medya aracılığı ile öğrendiğini ifade etti ve geleneksel sigaranın daha zararlı olduğunu düşünmekteydi. Grup II ve III hastalar ev içi ortamında e-sigarayı daha zararsız gördükleri için rahatça içtiklerini belirtti.
Sonuç: Çalışmamız e-sigaranın geleneksel sigaraya göre daha masum olduğu görüşü nedeniyle satış, sunum ve reklamları konusunda daha sıkı tedbirler alınması gerçeğini göstermektedir.

Electronic Cigarette-Related Attitudes and Behaviors of Patients Presenting to the Pulmonology Clinic

Abstract

Aim: Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are electric-powered devices that deliver nicotine with flavors and other additives. The popularity of e-cig is increasing gradually. In this study, we aimed to evaluate patients that presented to our clinic in terms of their smoking and vaping habits, views on e-cigs, and how demographic features influenced their views on e-cigs.
Materials and Methods: The study included 150 male patients that were divided into three groups: Group I (control group) comprised 50 healthy participants, Group II consisted of 50 patients with chronic bronchitis, and Group III contained 50 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We recorded the patients’ demographic features, pulmonary function test results and smoking and/or vaping habits.
Results: Among the patients that had previously attempted to quit smoking, the vaping rate was higher in Group III (n=19), compared to Group II (n=17) (p<0.05). In all three groups, the patients had mostly heard about e-cig mainly through media and considered conventional cigarettes to be more dangerous than e-cig.
Conclusion: Our study showed that strict cautions must be taken against the sale, promotion and advertisement of e-cig because there is a common belief that e-cig is less harmful than conventional cigarettes.
