...As if you didn't know that already.
A new study researched the effects of a four year old ban on smoking in all enclosed public places in Scotland. One of the happy results: An 18 percent reduction in hospitalizations for children with life threatening asthma episodes. That's good news.
In addition, doctors also found that breathing problems fell for folks most likely to be subject to second hand smoke, namely bartenders and waiters.
Critics (who the hell would criticize something like this?) contended that smokers would simply smoke more at home. But, in fact, the law prompted many to ban tobacco use in the their homes as well, according to the study.
