Background
The rising use of e-cigarettes among young people has emerged as a growing public health concern given its association
with nicotine dependence and adverse respiratory and cardiovascular outcomes. This study assessed the prevalence of
electronic cigarette (vaping) use among youths in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria.
Methodology
A convergent parallel mixed-methods design was adopted, combining a structured self-administered questionnaire with
open-ended qualitative items. A total of 950 youths aged 15–35 years were sampled and stratified by age, gender, and
educational level, exceeding the minimum sample size of 427 determined using Cochran’s formula. Data were analyzed using
descriptive statistics and chi-square tests.
