Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) declares that the tobacco smoking epidemic is one of the biggest threats to public health. The high rate of cigarette consumption in the world, especially in Indonesia, has made many tobacco users turn to e-cigarettes. This study employed the qualitative method with a case study design. The data were collected using in-depth interviews and FGD. The subject of this study were students of the Faculty of Public Health who use cigarettes and e-cigarettes and non-smokers. The research samples were 15 respondents who were selected using the purposive sampling technique because they were chosen by adjusting to certain considerations or characteristics. Some respondents prefer using e-cigarettes because they are easy to obtain, could be purchased online, are only expensive when buying the tool, could be used repeatedly, offer various flavors, are odorless, and have small shapes. In contrast, some respondents prefer conventional cigarettes because they give a distinct sensation of burning cigarettes, offer quite affordable prices, are available in retail with easy access, and have more gentle looks. Cigarette and e-cigarette users choose one of these two types by considering various reasons: easy access, prices, tastes, smell, and practicality.
