Re: Passive smoking rate for New Zealand

I think the rate for New Zealand in the discussion was meant to be 8 per 100,000 and not 8 per 10,000 which would be rather high.

The authors thank Holger Moeller for the previous e-letter. As he noticed, there is a typographical error in the number related to attributable deaths in New Zealand. The correct number is 8 per 100,000.
