*In total, 186 primary schools were invited to take part. Despite multiple contact attempts 36 schools did not respond, 73 schools declined, and 77 agreed to take part in principle, with four dropping out due to time/scheduling constraints. Overall, 73 schools took part in the study; a school-level response rate of 39.3%. Of 2514 pupils within sampled classes, 2218 (88.2%) took part in the survey, with 53 (2.1%) opted out by parents and 58 (2.3%) declining to participate, but most non-participation was due to absence on the day of the data collection visit (n = 185; 7.4%). Sample characteristics are described in Table 1.


*Table 2 presents frequencies and percentages of children reporting awareness of, exposure to and a range of perceptions of, e-cigarettes and tobacco overall, by parental smoking, parental vaping and family affluence level. For each of these associations odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals are presented in Table 3
*Unsurprisingly children of smokers and vapers where more likely to know about e-cigs, but it appears from the results they are less likely to go on to become smokers. They also possibly paradoxically reported as being less likley to go on to become vapers, maybe in part due to education from the vaping parent(s)?
*The number of children who reported vaping or smoking was small, and some of the results were thrown out due to insufficient numbers.
