Abstract
Background: Electronic-cigarettes (E-cigarettes) have become popular over the past few years, especially among the university students. The prevalence of E-cigarettes smoking among medical students varied widely from one country to another. Our study aimed to assess the prevalence of E-cigarettes smoking among medical students in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study conducted in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, among medical students aged 18 to 25 years old. The sample size was 100 medical students. The data were collected by a self-administrated online questionnaire associated with E-cigarettes use among medical students. The information was contained in an Excel sheet and was statistically analyzed using Statistical package for social sciences 22th edition. A p-value of 0.05 or less was significant.
Results: A total of 150 medical students participated in the study; they had a mean age of 23.1 ± 1.27 years old. One hundred nineteen respondents were male (79.3%), while 31 were female (20.7%). The rate of the current use of E-cigarettes was 14 (9.3%). 37 (24.7%) had used E-cigarettes. The study found that E-cigarettes, susceptibility to a tobacco cigarette, and tobacco smoking were positively associated with higher age, male gender, and higher amounts of pocket money.
Conclusion: The prevalence of E-cigarettes smoking among medical students in Makkah was relatively high compared to the previous study.

Key words: Prevalence, electronic cigarettes, smoking, medical students, Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
