Re: Correction

Editor

The editors have made minor changes to the text of our response to Professor Prochaska and for the most part these are for the better.

However, the final sentence of the second paragraph is meaningless as it stands. It should say: On this basis, it seems more likely that the smoking cessation expert system for adolescents, the only one that can be compared with the system for adults, should be more successful and require fewer sessions, yet we found no effect.
(The error is to omit smoking cessation).
