Among regular smokers, e-cigarette access increased
with age and was higher in males and those with parents/
guardians who smoked (Table 2). Prevalence was
also higher in smokers who got their cigarettes from parents
or from friends/family aged over 18 years. After
controlling for confounding factors, e-cigarette access in
regular smokers remained associated with older age,
being male, heavy smoking and having parents/guardians
that smoked. However, only obtaining cigarettes from
friends/family aged over 18 was associated with e-cigarette
access
