Abstract

This research aims to investigate the relationship between e-cigarette use, propylene glycol content, and the FEV1/FVC ratio in women aged 17–25 years in South Jakarta, as well as to analyze the findings from an Islamic health ethics perspective. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted involving 40 female e-cigarette users aged 17–25 years in South Jakarta. Data were collected using spirometry to measure FEV1 and FVC, and a structured questionnaire to assess e-cigarette usage patterns and PG exposure. Purposive sampling was applied, and data were analyzed using descriptive and correlational statistics. All respondents showed FEV1/FVC ratios within normal limits (>75%), with no significant correlation found between the duration or intensity of e-cigarette use and lung function decline. Variations in usage patterns (puffs per day, liquid consumption) did not demonstrate a clear association with FEV1/FVC outcomes. Additionally, no meaningful relationship was observed between e-cigarette use and menstrual pain history. Although e-cigarette use among young women in this sample did not show immediate adverse effects on lung function as measured by FEV1/FVC, potential long-term risks remain a concern. From an Islamic perspective, e-cigarette use may be considered makruh or even haram if proven harmful to health, aligning with the principle of preserving well-being (hifz al-nafs) and avoiding harm (darar). These findings highlight the need for continuous health monitoring and religiously informed public health messaging regarding e-cigarette use.

Abstract

E-cigarettes are widely used among young adults, with propylene glycol (PG) as a common component. While PG has been associated with potential respiratory risks, its impact on lung function—particularly the FEV1/FVC ratio—remains unclear in young male populations. This study also examines the Islamic perspective on e-cigarette use, considering health preservation (hifz al-nafs) and harm avoidance (darar). To investigate the relationship between e-cigarette use and PG exposure on lung function, and to analyze the findings from an Islamic ethical standpoint, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 40 male e-cigarette users aged 17–25. Data were collected through spirometry to measure FEV1/FVC ratios, along with structured interviews on e-cigarette use habits, respiratory symptoms, and demographic variables. Statistical analysis was performed to assess correlations. All participants had normal FEV1/FVC ratios (>75%), with no significant association found between e-cigarette use, duration, or PG exposure and impaired lung function. However, 47.5% reported subjective respiratory symptoms, and 7.5% noted libido changes. BMI varied widely, with 72.5% of respondents classified as overweight or obese. E-cigarette use in young males was not associated with measurable declines in lung function based on FEV1/FVC ratios, despite reported respiratory complaints. Long-term effects remain uncertain. From an Islamic perspective, e-cigarette use is debated; most scholars consider it makruh (discouraged) due to potential harm and wasteful expenditure, though explicit religious rulings remain contextual
