Type 508 Accommodation and the title of the report in the subject line of e-mail. Erratum: Vol. 43, No. 19In the report "Cigarette Smoking Among Adults -- United States, 1992, and Changes in the Definition of Current Cigarette Smoking," the 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the 1992 prevalence estimates published on pages 343 and 345 were incorrect. The following tables contain the corrected CIs and replace Table_1 (page 343) and Table_2 (page 345). In addition, the correct CI for daily smoking (page 342, fourth paragraph, second line) is plus or minus 0.7%, and the correct CI for some-day smoking (page 344, first paragraph, first line) is plus or minus 0.3%. The change in CIs affects one conclusion (page 344, second paragraph, fourth line, and page 344, fourth paragraph, second line): the increase in smoking among persons living below the poverty level is not statistically significant.
