Study: Heart Attacks Drop With Smoking Ban
Heart attack rates in Pueblo, Colo., dropped by 27 percent in the 18 months after a smoking ban was imposed in bars, restaurants and other public places, according to a new study.
Researchers found that 399 heart attack patients were admitted to hospitals in the 18 months before the July 2003 ban and 291 after.
In a nearby county without a smoking ban, the number of heart attacks held steady during the same period, according to the research presented Monday at an American Heart Association meeting.
