In the citing paper
“elite/professional athletes report considerably lower smoking prevalence (0.8–15%) than controls (17–28%) and the general population worldwide (~25%) [1, 13, 41, 56, 60]”
From Nicotine: Sporting Friend or Foe? A Review of Athlete Use, Performance Consequences and Other Considerations (2017) · cites this paper as [1]
In the citing paper
“Of the 446 elite Finnish athletes funded by their National Olympic Committee in 2002, prevalence of daily snuff use was fivefold that of controls at 25%, being highest for team sports and lowest for endurance athletes [1].”

In the citing paper
“However, potential bias due to selective response is unlikely as response rates were high (79–95%), and several of the studies described [1, 27, 42] report good validity of self-report tobacco use in their populations.”

“For example, the minimum age to buy cigarettes in Canada is 18 years.(19) Although laws to restrict tobacco sales have existed in developed countries for some time, developing countries have only recently begun to pass similar legislation.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
