The aim of this study was to determine high school students' views about tobacco products and e-cigarettes and e-cigarette smoking prevalence in one of Turkey's western provinces.
This cross-sectional study included 286 students. The data collection form consisted of 18 questions related to sociodemographic features and tobacco and e-cigarette use.
Of the 286 participants, 32.2% reported having used a tobacco product in the past month, 1.02% reported having used e-cigarettes, and 15.2% have tried e-cigarettes at least once. Of those who tried e-cigarettes, 19.2% of them did so because of curiosity. A positive correlation was found between e-cigarette trial and tobacco use, with age. Smoking/e-cigarette use status was significant with "e-cigarettes are harmful" (P=.034), "e-cigarette smoke is harmful" (P = .003), and "selling and advertising e-cigarettes is prohibited" (P =.043).
This study determined that 3 out of 10 youths used tobacco products, and 1 used e-cigarettes. There is a need to raise awareness among high school students and youth regarding the dangers of e-ciga- rettes and tobacco products.

这项横断面研究纳入了286名学生。数据收集表包含18个与社会人口学特征以及烟草和电子烟使用相关的问题。
在286名参与者中，32.2%报告在过去一个月内使用过烟草制品，1.02%报告使用过电子烟，15.2%至少尝试过一次电子烟。在尝试过电子烟的人中，19.2%是出于好奇。发现电子烟尝试与烟草使用之间存在正相关，且与年龄有关。吸烟/电子烟使用状况与“电子烟有害”（P = 0.034）、“电子烟烟雾有害”（P = 0.003）以及“禁止销售和宣传电子烟”（P = 0.043）显著相关。
本研究确定十分之三的青少年使用烟草制品，十分之一使用电子烟。有必要提高高中生和青少年对电子烟和烟草制品危害的认识。
