Re: “The potential for tobacco control to reduce PBS costs for smoking-related cardiovascular disease”, by Susan F Hurley, Michelle M Scollo, Sandra J Younie, Dallas R English and Maurice G Swanson in the 6 September 2004 issue of the Journal (Med J Aust 2004; 181: 252-255). The vertical axis on the graph in Box 5 was mislabelled during the production process. The values should be reduced by a factor of 10. The correctly drawn figure is reproduced below.

The html and pdf versions of the article published online were corrected on 15 November 2004.
