“A public smoking ban in Italy has led to a fall in hospital admissions for heart attacks, research suggests.

Analysis of the Piedmont region revealed admissions fell by 11% in the first five months of the ban compared with the same period the previous year.

Writing in the European Heart Journal, the team said this was probably due to a drop in passive smoking exposure.”
