Prevalence and factors associated with e-cigarette use among aspiring media professionals: A cross-sectional survey at a vocational college.
Article in Tobacco induced diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionE-cigarette use among college students is an emerging public health concern, particularly among those in media-related fields who may influence youth as future role models. This study examined the prevalence and factors associated with e-cigarette use among students at a vocational performing arts college in eastern China.
methodsA cross-sectional census survey was conducted from April to May 2025 at Hengdian College of Film and Television. All enrolled students present on campus were invited to complete an online questionnaire adapted from the National Tobacco Survey for College Students. Data on demographic characteristics, e-cigarette use, exposure to advertising and health information, and knowledge of tobacco hazards were collected. Chi-squared tests and binary logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with current e-cigarette use.
resultsAmong 9197 valid respondents (99.70% response rate; 69.90% female; mean age 18.83 years), the current e-cigarette use rate was 2.05%. Multivariate analysis identified the following significant associated factors: inadequate knowledge versus adequate knowledge (adjusted odds ratio, AOR=4.69; 95% CI: 3.44-6.40), maternal smoking versus neither parent smokes (AOR=9.44; 95% CI: 3.46-25.76), junior year versus freshman (AOR=3.46; 95% CI: 1.96-6.11), both parents smoking vs neither (AOR=3.04; 95% CI: 1.71-5.42), witnessing public smoking versus not (AOR=2.67; 95% CI: 1.82-3.91), male versus female (AOR=2.36; 95% CI: 1.74-3.20), sophomore year versus freshman (AOR=1.44; 95 CI: 1.09-1.91), and having smoking roommates versus not (AOR=1.26; 95% CI: 1.07-1.48). Nearly half reported exposure to e-cigarette advertising, while over 60% encountered anti-e-cigarette information.
conclusionsThe associations identified highlight the need for further longitudinal investigation into modifiable factors and environmental influences. Special attention should be given to students with maternal smoking and those in smoking-normalized environments.
