Abstract
E-cigarette use has become popular, particularly among the youth. Its use is associated with harmful
general and oral health consequences. This survey aimed to assess self-reported oral hygiene practices, oral and general
health events, and changes in physiological functions (including physical status, smell, taste, breathing, appetite,
etc.) due to E-cigarette use among dental students. This online, multicounty survey involved undergraduate dental students from 20 dental schools across
11 different countries. The questionnaire included demographic characteristics, E-cigarette practices, self-reported
complaints, and associated physiological changes due to E-cigarette smoking.
