Description
Summary:[...]these two products differ in terms of smoking pattern and nicotine content per stick, which could affect the number of cigarettes smoked per day.2,3 Culture and regulatory environment could also affect mean cigarettes smoked per day.4 Giovino and colleagues' findings would not represent overall smoking frequency for India and Bangladesh owing to the predominance of bidi smoking in these regions. [...]Giovino and colleagues wrongly estimate the mean cigarettes smoked per day for India and Vietnam as 2·1 and 10·9, respectively, owing to incorrect denominator selection.
