Chart updates due to rounding issue
Several charts in this publication have been corrected. Previously, some charts incorrectly displayed figures rounded down to the nearest whole number. (e.g. 11.6 would be displayed as 11, instead of being rounded up to 12).
Charts updated due to this issue:
• E-cigarette use, by cigarette smoking status
• Frequency of drinking in the last 12 months, by age and sex
• Estimated weekly alcohol consumption, by household income and sex
• Estimated weekly alcohol consumption, by area deprivation and sex
• Alcohol consumption in the last week
• Overweight and obesity, by area deprivation and sex
Figures in the key findings, report text and data tables were correct.
