The use of e-cigarettes exposes the body to a variety of chemicals. Some products contained in e-cigarette vapor include known carcinogens and cytotoxic substances, potentially causing lung and cardiovascular disease. Objective: To describe the signs and symptoms reported by young adults in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, during or after the use of hookah devices, electronic cigarettes, or both. Method: This is an observational, cross-sectional, and descriptive study, based on the elaboration of a questionnaire containing questions regarding demographic characteristics, device use habits and symptoms already presented during and/or after device use. Results : The sample consisted of 126 participants, with a mean age of 24 years. When comparing the usage habits between the groups formed according to the device used (Table 2), only the time of use (p<0.001) showed a statistically significant difference. Regarding the signs and symptoms reported among users of different types of devices (Table 3), we found statistically significant differences for cough (p=0.006), headache (p=0.008), tachycardia (p=0.03) and nausea (p=0.007). Conclusion: The use of ESDs is a common practice and is already part of people's daily lives, especially among young people. Symptoms such as cough, headache and dizziness were the most reported in this study
