Cell entries are adjusted ORs and 95% CIs from a multi-level model (participants nested in jurisdictions). Bold indicates p<0.05. Values were not treated as missing completely at random for Taylor series variance estimation.

^*Too few respondents identifying gender as other (lowest count: 4), therefore omitted from the analysis.

^†Too few black respondents who used e-cigarettes and obtained e-cigarettes online in the past 30 days (count: 8); therefore, combined with other racial groups, including Asian/Pacific Islander, non-Hispanic and other/multi-race, non-Hispanic.

^‡Localities included nine California counties and municipalities with restrictions on sales of flavoured non-cigarette tobacco products and/or menthol cigarettes that were effective on or before 1 January 2019. Excluded were two jurisdictions with local laws that applied only to retailers located near schools or youth-populated areas. In California, county laws only apply to retailers located in unincorporated areas. Due to concern that youth and young adult survey respondents who live in these unincorporated areas (covered by the law) may inaccurately self-report living in a more well-known incorporated jurisdiction, we excluded all county laws except the city and county of San Francisco.
