Correction

23 March 2026

We have corrected errors in the Smoking habits in the UK and its constituent countries dataset in Table 4a and Table 4b. The previous version contained upper confidence limits (UCL) in Table 4a that were more than 100 for 13 Local Authorities, in the data from 2020 to 2024.

In Table 4b, a negative lower confidence limit (LCL) for 2019 to 2023 for the City of London has been corrected. This should have been 0.
