Latest research shows that the banning of smoking in restaurants has reduced heart attacks by as much as a fifth. Researchers in the University of California have analysed relevant studies undertaken after 2004. In all the studies it was observed that the restaurant smoking ban had had a direct effect. After the ban there was an immediate reduction in the number of heart infarct victims admitted to hospitals.
The ban on restaurant smoking has been more successful in the United States than in Italy and Ireland. This is also evident in the reduction of heart attacks. According to British Medical Journal, about a third of restaurant guests continue to be subjected to cigarette smoke in these two countries whereas in the United States the number is only one in six.
