Effect of smoking regulations in local restaurants on smokers' anti-smoking attitudes and quitting behaviours

(Disponible en anglais seulement.)
In this telephone survey, having strict smoking regulations was correlated with an increase in the likelihood of making a quit attempt; however, it did not impact cessation. In smokers who already saw smoking as an anti-social behaviour, smoking regulations reinforced this belief.

Comment: Smoking regulations are increasing the likelihood of smokers to attempt quitting. This is great!
