Smoking Bans in Ireland Reduce Coronary Heart Disease Deaths

Next year, smoking will be banned in UK pubs, clubs and workplaces. The ban should result in a drop in deaths from coronary artery heart disease. Ireland, which banned smoking in public places in 2004, has already observed a 50% decrease, partly attributable to lifestyle changes, especially smoking and diet.

I don’t think anyone needs to reminded of the deadly effects of smoking.
