*

Models used weighted data. Country, age, gender, education, income, wave of recruitment, smoking and vaping status and having a friend who uses NVP were all included as covariates within modelling procedures. AOR represent the odds at wave 2 compared with wave 1.

The interaction explored the difference in difference between current smoking or vaping status over time, comparing the change in vapers to the change observed among exclusive smokers. Quitters were excluded from this analysis. Vapers included daily NVP users, non-daily NVP users and concurrent users. Exclusive smokers include daily smokers and non-daily smokers.

Sample only included those who reported noticing a health warning label.

§

The interaction explored the difference in difference between countries over time, comparing changes in key outcome measures over time within England relative to the changes seen in Canada, the US and Australia.

Quitters were excluded from this analysis. Vapers included daily NVP users, non-dailyNVP users and concurrent users. Exclusive smokers include daily smokers andnon-daily smokers.

AOR, adjusted OR; NVP, nicotine vaping product.
