| Abstrakt: | Background: Electronic cigarettes, hookahs, or water pipes are new forms of tobacco consumption, these alternatives are becoming popular in the adolescent and young adult population. Objective: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with the usage of electronic cigarettes and hookahs in Colombian adolescents. Materials and Methods: Secondary analysis of data from one study aimed to determine the prevalence of traditional cigarette use (Emtamplona Study). The adolescents were considered consumers if he/she claimed to have consumed at least one cigarette or used a hookah and/or electronic cigarette during the last 30 days. A self-administered and anonymous questionnaire was answered by 812 adolescents aged 14 ± 2 years (438 women). Results: The prevalence of electronic cigarette and hookah use was 1.8% (95%CI 0.9%–2.7%) and 2.8% (95%CI 1.8%–4.1%), respectively. A logistic regression analysis showed that traditional cigarette consumption was associated (OR 10.46, 95%CI 3.64–30.97) with electronic cigarette use. On the other hand, being in sixth-seventh grade (OR 5.19 95%CI 1.08–25.01) and belonging to a private school (OR 10.54 95%CI 3.95–28.13), smoking (OR 15.38 95%CI 3.45–68.62) was associated with hookah use. Conclusions: Electronic cigarette and hookah use among these adolescents is low; however, public health strategies are important to control tobacco consumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
