Abstract: As the use of electronic cigarettes or vaping continues to increase, there seems to be limited data on the knowledge and understanding of e-cigarettes use and its effects on health in the Philippines. The goal of this study was to describe the knowledge and use of electronic cigarette smoking among medical students. A descriptive study design using a multi-stage sampling technique was utilized among 780 medical students of FEU-NRMF. An adapted validated self-administered questionnaire was utilized. The results of the study revealed that 37.8% (n=286) have tried e-cigarette and most are continuously using e-cigarette. Also, 67.2% (n=508) have an excellent knowledge about electronic cigarettes. Furthermore, it can provide new knowledge on e-cigarette use, their beliefs and usage among medical students.
