Abstract
As the current trend of vaping among adolescence is gradually increased, it has become a concerned to the society, especially parents and health care professionals. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate the current awareness and knowledge of vape among the vapers. This study was a qualitative study as it will allow me as the researcher to get a deeper understanding on every vaper knowledge and opinions. They were recruited through purposive sampling and snowball sampling. From this study, we will look on the demographic data of the vaper, including their age, occupation and academic background. The results shows that peers has a higher percentage as the main influence for them, besides family and relatives, cost savings, internet and as a smoking cessation .. The vapers also gave negative feedback towards the usage of this device among young adults. Thus, parents should be concerned with whom their children are being friend with, to prevent this behaviour from being practiced by them. The vapers also agreed to regulate this device, to ensure its quality, safety and sales, but they wanted the other practices, such as smoking and shisha, to be regulated similarly. In a nutshell, the government need to have a deeper sight into this issue to produce a better outcome, which will satisfy all parties involved.
