French researchers announced a striking 15% decrease in admissions of patients with myocardial infarction to emergency wards since the public ban on smoking came into effect in restaurants, hotels and casinos in France last January.
This is great news indeed! It just proves further that smoking cessation saves lives. This has also aided in lowering pollution indoors and in outdoor cafes in and around France. Do you think there will be similar results as more bans are in place? Time will tell.
