Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out between January and April 2019. It enrolled 461 residents of the community randomly selected from Lebanon's districts in a proportionate rate. Results: Higher problematic social media use was significantly associated with more waterpipe addiction but not cigarette dependence and alcohol use disorder.
