Complete smoking ban leads to marked rise in smoking cessation efforts
Nick Wilson, a senior lecturer in public health in New Zealand, writes that the complete ban in his country since December 2004 has been well accepted by the public, and smoking cessation services became busier when the ban was introduced.
Speaking of the UK's approach on this issue, he writes: 'Having only a partial ban on smoking in public places is seriously inadequate in terms of protecting the public health from second-hand smoke.'
