Abstract :
Electronic cigarettes are becoming recognized
as one of today's teen habits. They use E-cigarettes as an
alternative to smoking cigarettes or tobacco. Teenagers
believe that smoking helps relieve tension from a long
day of work as a part of their way of life. The purpose
of this study was to determine and assess the awareness
on the harmful effects of E-cigarette smoking among the
users in 4 barangays in Echague, Isabela. The study used
a quantitative design and used snowball sampling type
of research design to determine the respondent’s
awareness on the harmful effects of E-cigarettes.
Demographic data and 4point Likert-scale type items
were used to gather needed information. Data was
collected by online surveys using Google Forms and face-
to-face surveys utilizing printed questionnaires and
were analyzed using Pearson correlation. The findings
indicated that the majority of respondents were males,
their length of use is 2 years. Most of them are 21 years
old and are undergraduate. The findings show that the
respondents are slightly aware of the harmful effects of
using E-cigarette. Concerning to their physical health

pulmonary diseases, brain damage, cardiovascular
disease, and sexual and reproductive dysfunction. It can
