E-cigarette awareness was significantly higher in smoker which used ≥100 for lifetime compared to non-smoker and <100 for lifetime; smokers in last 1 month compared to non-smokers. The proportion of e-cigarette trying was significantly higher in smokers in last 1 month compared to non-smokers.Conclusion: In our study, we determined that 43.1% of sports science faculty students had e-cigarette experience which is higher than the literature. Approximately 50-69% of the participants answered ' I do not know' to measurement questions of e-cigarette knowledge. E-cigarette using is a public health problem which is rapidly spreading in Turkey as in the world. Training and prevention program about e-cigarettes should be carried out to increase the knowledge level especially for youth. |
