In the original publication, one of the last paragraphs should have read as follows:
A recent observation is that the prevalence of people who currently smoke cigarettes admitted for COVID-19 was low compared with the prevalence of smoking in the local general population. In China, of those hospitalized with Covid-19 only 6% were current smokers, whereas 27% of the general population of China smokes. (Farsalinos et al. 2020). In France, the smoker rate was 5% of COVID-19 admissions compared with a 25% smoker rate for the general French population. (Polosa and Caci 2020).
As a result, not all citations were correct and additionally two were incomplete. The new and correct references are published below.
