Smoking Ban Associated With Rapid Improvement In Health Of Bar Workers

Bar workers in Scotland showed significant improvements in respiratory symptoms and lung function within 2 months following a ban on smoking in confined public places, according to a study in the October 11 issue of JAMA.

This is no surprise to me. When I started working in a restaurant several years ago that allowed smoking, I started getting chest pains. When the state passed a ban against smoking in most public places, my chest pains ceased.
