    Objective: To evaluate the impact of e-cigarette use on the health of adolescents and young people in order a comprehensive understanding of the risk factors and their associated consequences. Method: search in databases such as Pubmed, ScienceDirect and SciElo, published since 2020, obtaining 14 studies after screening. Results: The use of electronic cigarettes is very frequent and is not effective for adolescents and young people to quit smoking, but facilitates their evolution towards smoking. Conclusions: Adolescents and young people are unaware of the health risks associated with the use of electronic cigarettes and their erroneous perception that they are less harmful favors their popularity. It is crucial to implement educational programs in schools to correct these perceptions.
