a An additional weight has been added to correct for response
bias in the sub-sample providing a
valid saliva sample (see Section 4.5.1).
b The sample base for these categories is too small for results to be shown.
c 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.
