Cross-sectional survey reveals associations between e-cigarette use, physical activity, and mental health in Saudi Arabia, suggesting focused public health interventions.
E-cigarette use in this population is significantly influenced by socio-demographic factors, physical activity levels, and mental health status. The complex relationship observed, where high physical activity is associated with use and mental distress is protective against initiation but predictive of dependence, highlights the need for integrated public health strategies. Interventions should focus on high-risk groups and address the dual role of lifestyle and psychological factors in both prevention and dependence management.
