Why is it important?
Our findings show a higher likelihood of e-cigarette use among those who use alcohol, those who use multiple tobacco or substances, and individuals with friends who use e-cigarettes. Health providers and policymakers should consider preventive measures for adolescents and young adults with identified risk factors in Nigeria.
Perspectives
Because e-cigarettes have emerged in the Nigerian market, it is important to keep a close eye on trends in e-cigarette use.
