NOTE="GUI data was revised on 23 July 2025 due to a syntax error when calculating the weights. These weights have been corrected and the updated figures reflect this correction. The impact of these changes on the results presented in the original release is minor and do not affect the high-level results and trends presented in the original release. For details see,[url=https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/in/gui/informationnotegrowingupinirelandcohort98atage25mainresults/] Information Note.[/url]

The questions relating to smoking and vaping were independent of each other in the survey, if one was answered and the other was not, the non-answered one was assumed to be Do Not Smoke/Do Not Vape for the purpose of this table. This effects a very small number of records.";
