Erratum

In the Editorial accompanying two articles on the consumption of e-cigarettes in Germany, which appeared in issue 14 of Deutsches Ärzteblatt International, dated 6 April 2014, it was stated that “More than 90% of the e-cigarette market is in the hands of major tobacco companies.” This statement is not correct. These companies’ share of the market for conventional cigarettes is approximately 90%; their share of the market for e-cigarettes is probably much smaller.
