a An additional weight has been added to correct for response
bias among tobacco users in obtaining a saliva sample (see Section 4.5.1).
b Comparative general population data are not
available for saliva cotinine from the 1999 survey itself, comparative
data have therefore been taken from the 1998
survey, in which no weighting was involved.
