Notes: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ever use = ever used a vape-pen; knowledge = vape-pen knowledge; Positive Ex. = positive expectancies; social anxiety = social interaction anxiety.

Log transformations: lack of premed = impulsivity-lack of premeditation; MJ use = marijuana use frequency; drinks per drinking day.

Square root transformation: negative urgency = impulsivity-negative urgency; Inj. norm-peer = injunctive norms-peer.

Inverse transformation: Inj. norm-father = injunctive norms-father, the direction of all correlations involving this variable were reversed to be in line with the raw version of the variable.

Cigarette smoking was binary (yes/no).
