Heart Attacks fall by 17% after Scottish Smoking Ban

The smoking ban has now been in place in England for four months, and research by the Department of Health has revealed that 75% of adults now support the ban. Also, there are more smokers in support of the ban than in opposition, with 47% supporting the ban on smoking in public places. 86% of businesses questioned said that for them the ban has gone well, with 78% saying that the ban was a good idea. In Scotland, hospital admissions for heart attacks has fallen by 17% in the year following the Scottish ban on smoking. Hopefully admissions to English hospitals will see similar reductions in heart attacks and other smoking related illnesses.
