As per the author who conducted the experiments for measuring the cotinine and trans-3′-hydroxycotinine in both urine and blood samples, there was a mistake in considering the dilution ratio when the samples were measured. Accordingly, the reported concentration of cotinine and trans-3′-hydroxycotinine in both blood and urine samples should be multiplied to 10. The author has since provided revisions for the relevant text sections, Table 2, Figure 1, and Figure 2.
On page 3, the word ‘concentrating’ has been revised to ‘concentration’.
On page 3, the phrase ‘impact biomarker’ has been revised to ‘biomarker’.
On page 4, Table 2 has been revised.
On page 4, the number ‘97’ has been revised to the number ‘973’.
On page 4, the number ‘206’ has been revised to the number ‘2061’.
On page 4, the number ‘15.3’ has been revised to the number ‘153’.
On page 4, the number ‘2.8’ has been revised to the number ‘28’.
On page 6, the phrase ‘4.32–8.82’ has been revised to the number ‘4.74–8.03’.
On page 7, Figure 1 has been revised.
On page 7, Figure 2 has been revised.
