Description
Tharntip Sangsuwan and co-authors survey e-cigarette use and mental distress among university students in southern Thailand, in a 2026 paper. The region lives with long-running armed conflict, which may color both habits and mental health. The team gathered answers from 901 students at two campuses of one university.
About seven percent of students used e-cigarettes. Men, tobacco users, and those living alone were far more likely to vape, while Muslim students reported lower use than Buddhist peers. Users also scored higher on depression, anxiety, and stress scales. The authors link vaping with psychological strain in a conflict-shadowed setting and call for support that treats the two together.
