Keywords:
Electric cigarettes, Teenager, Hazardous to health perception, Prevention of vapingAbstract
E-cigarettes were gaining widespread popularity worldwide, including in Thailand, and their usage was continuously increasing. Most users believe that e-cigarettes were safer than traditional cigarettes and were less addictive. Additionally, they believed that e-cigarettes could aid in quitting smoking. This article aimed to present information about e-cigarettes, their health impacts, and a review of studies on the design of programs to prevent or quit e-cigarette using both in Thailand and oversea during the period from 2018 to 2023. The findings from previous research indicated that various prevention and cessation programs had been developed, focusing primarily on high school and university students. These programs mostly applied psychosocial theories such as the Social cognitive theory and the Self-efficacy theory, with trial periods ranging from 4 to 8 weeks. The studies had shown that prevention programs significantly reduce e-cigarette use rates, increase knowledge levels, enhance intentions to avoid e-cigarettes, and improve self-efficacy among the target groups. Previous studies conducted both in Thailand and oversea has demonstrated consistent positive outcomes, indicating that prevention and cessation campaigns were effective in reducing the prevalence of smoking and increasing awareness of the harmful effects of smoking among adolescents and youth.
