How smoking ban helps people
The idea “if you can’t smoke inside, you might as well not smoke at all” was sustained by the biggest part of tobacco smokers due to a recent study of UK College of Public Health. The study was done in order to analyze the results of the introduced in April 2004 cigarette smoking ban. It shows a 31.9 % abatement of Lexington adult cigarette smokers between 2001 and 2005. It is sustained that this is the result that was achieved solely due to tobacco smoking ban. And numbers continue to go down.
But this doesn’t mean that the prohibition of smoking tobacco in public places makes, in one moment, all the society healthier and happier. It still remains a frequent met addiction of thousands Lexington cigarette smoking users. According to an ante-smoking ban study, from the entirely population of Lexington state 25.7 % were cigarette smokers. It represents one fourth from all Lexington citizens. But now it lowered to 17.55%. So, the cigarette ban shows lowered with 8.15%. It is a very positive result.
But, the problem doesn’t stop here. It is not easy for smokers that used to smoke few cigarettes per day to be near those who smoke packs of cig. The enforcing of prohibition of public usage of tobacco products will help to solve the problem. “This smoking ban will help the tobacco users to quit smoking”, said Dr. Ellen Hahn, professor in UK’s College of Nursing and Public Health. As cigarette ban prohibits smoking in public places, as restaurants, bars, operas the smoking became illegal and this goes to bringing to an end smoking. It is an obvious and easy method.
The fact that the Lexington inhabitants registered a continue lower of smokers who use tobacco products doesn’t mean that it becomes strongest and the cigarette usage is still a social problem.
But, as the Lexington officials uphold that a continued supporting of smoking ban will increase the number on non-smoking people and those who want to quit makes them to start working on future smoking ban plan.
