Relationship between the Habit of Using Electronic Cigarettes (Vapes) and Lung Function Values
Abstract
The contemporary phenomenon of e-cigarette usage has gained traction in society, particularly as a means of transitioning away from traditional tobacco cigarettes. While e-cigarettes are generally perceived as having less detrimental effects on the body, their contents have been linked to various diseases and potential organ dysfunction. Nicotine, a key component of e-cigarettes, can induce addiction and negatively impact the respiratory system, cardiovascular health, and neurological function. The objective of this research was to investigate the potential correlation between electric cigarette usage and pulmonary function in the Pasovati Vape Community in Solo.The research employed quantitative methodology utilizing a cross-sectional design. The study sample consisted of 60 individuals who use vape products, selected through purposive sampling. Data was gathered by administering the PS-ECDI questionnaire and conducting physical examinations using a Peak Flow Meter. The findings revealed that all participants were male, with an average age of 26. Only 32 respondents reported infrequent exercise, and the average duration of vape usage was 4 years. A total of 25 individuals (41%) were identified as heavy users, while 26 (43%) exhibited compromised pulmonary function. Statistical analysis using the Gamma Test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Therefore, there was a significant association between e-cigarette or vaporizer usage and diminished lung function among members of the Pasovati Vape Community in Solo.
