Background: The electronic cigarettes use has gained populatiry in the last years, and together with tobacco use, they increase the nicotine exposure. Cannabis is the most consumed illicit drug by the young population in Perú. Objective: To identify the association between the use of electronic cigarettes and/or tobacco in life with the cannabis use in the last 12 months. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was developed secondary to the III Andean Epidemiological Study on Drug Consumption in University Students, 2016. A multivariate analysis was performed using a generalized linear model of the family and the log Poisson link option. Participants: University students (n=3981).Exposure: Electronic cigarette and/or tobacco consumption based on questions about consumption of tobacco and electronic cigarette in life, being categorized into only electronic cigarette, only tobacco, both or neither.Outcome: Cannabis use in the last 12 months. Results: Of the total number of university students who met the inclusion criteria (n = 3981), the lifetime prevalence of electronic cigarettes and tobacco (dual) use was 10.1% and 1.2% for electronic cigarettes. Cannabis use in the last 12 months was 5.2%. Those with dual use had forty times the probability of using cannabis in the last 12 months (PR 40.34, CI95: 14.76 to 110.25, p <0.001) compared to those who used none, and those who used only tobacco had twenty-three times the probability of using cannabis in the last 12 months (PR 23.12, CI95: 8.43 to 63.35, p <0.001) compared to those who consumed none. Conclusions: An increase in the probability of cannabis use in the last 12 months was found in those university students who reported dual use of electronic cigarettes and tobacco in life, and also in those who reported exclusive use of tobacco. We didn’t find an increased probability of cannabis use in the last 12 months among the electronic cigarettes only users.
