Decision to use e-cigarettes and associated factors among students of a university in Northern Thailand

The factors associated with the decision to use e-cigarettes were found to be directly related to the students themselves, as well as their friends, acquaintances, and partners. Therefore, universities should have a policy to prevent the use of e-cigarettes by focusing on the individual level with all students. Further, activities should be organized in groups, especially among friends and partners, with a focus on changing attitudes, providing accurate information, and increasing the perceptions of e-cigarette risks as well as the benefits of avoiding e-cigarette use.
