A cross-sectional study of cigarette smoking, electronic cigarettes among students of Taras Shevchenko Kyiv National University campus

Abstract

In the modern world, the problem of the spread of nicotine use is defined as one of the key challenges of public health. Against the backdrop of a decrease in the prevalence of tobacco smoking in the world, the prevalence of electronic cigarettes is rapidly growing, and this process is especially active among young people. Since the emergence of electronic cigarettes on the market, their potential harmful effect on health have been actively investigated, but their safety in the medium and long term is still not well known.
