Data are presented as adjusted odds ratio (95% CI). ref: reference. #: models adjusted for age, sex, migration background, school type, consumer susceptibility to interpersonal influence, socioeconomic status, sensation seeking, and e-cigarette use of at least one friend; : n=6577; +: n=6531; §: n=6529; ƒ: n=6540; ##: n=6533; ¶¶: n=6532; ++: n=6575; §§: peer behaviour was omitted in some cases due to small cell frequencies, meaning that corresponding behaviour was also shown by peers. *: p<0.05; ***: p≤0.001; all models allow for nested data (p<0.05).
