In the originally published article by Jing, Alison, Petr and Seana 1, the article title was published as “The association between quitting smoking and weight gain: a systemic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies” but should be revised to read: “The association between quitting smoking and weight gain: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies”. The authors sincerely apologize for the confusion caused by this error.
