Perceptions of vaping harms tended to be stronger among females (vs. males) and weaker among past\u2010month vapers (vs. non\u2010susceptible, never\u2010vapers). Overall, students held more negative than favourable attitudes towards e\u2010cigarettes. However, vaping susceptibility, being of younger age and having a close friend that vapes were independently associated with having more favourable attitudes towards e\u2010cigarettes (e.g., they look cool, make vaping look exciting). Further, past\u2010month exposure to e\u2010cigarette advertising was associated with students believing that e\u2010cigarettes look good, make vaping look appealing, encourage them to vape and encourage them to buy an e\u2010cigarette.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n
