Methodology: To construct this narrative literature review article, a methodology was outlined in a thoughtful and strategic way, so that the maximum amount of information that could be added to the topic of the article could be obtained from online books, doctoral and master's theses, course completion papers, case reports, review articles, monographs, PICs and research on the topic addressed. Thus, to obtain this range of information, research was carried out in the following databases and websites: DeCs, BVS/BIREME, PROSPERO, Web of Science, CAPES Periodicals Portal, Science Direct, Scielo, PUBMED Central, The Cochrane Library, LUMEN ET VIRTUS Magazine, FT Magazine, Research, society and development journal combined with the Google Academy website. Results: The electronic cigarette was initially created as something that was supposed to be less corrosive and would cause fewer problems than the conventional cigarette, being something that was created for people who already smoke, so that they would start using this “healthier” cigarette, until the dependence diminished so that smokers could later quit all types of cigarettes. Conclusion: Thus, it is seen that the electronic cigarette has a range of harmful effects on the human body, being a product that causes problems in the oral cavity.
