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.
