“…These bans represent just of several intervention strategies that have been used to reduce smoking and prevent ETS exposure. Besides preventing ETS exposure, smoking bans in public places represent one of several intervention strategies that have also been used to reduce smoking (13). The literature documents report a relationship between smoking bans in public places and a decrease in smoking prevalence (7,8).…”

The opinion of catering sector about the smoking ban and the valuation of establishments 108 SUMMARY The opinion of catering sector about the smoking ban and the evaluation of establishments Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the knowledge and perspective of employees/employers in the catering sector in our city regarding the smoking ban, as well as to determine the changes in the number of customers and income after the bans implementation. Materials and Methods: In this two phased cross-sectional study 337 and 310 adults were evaluated respectively. Before the smoking ban was implemented we visited 84 workplaces in city center, after 18 months later 97 workplaces were visited in the same region. In both phases, the participants' opinions about the necessity/applicability of the ban were evaluated. In the second phase, they were also asked whether they had any changes in their income. Results: In both phases, participants' general characteristics were similar. When all participants were evaluated, we determined that their knowledge and belief in the necessity/applicability of the ban did not change over time. It was determined that non-smokers more strongly believed in the necessity/applicability of the ban. Thirty-eight participants were included in both phases; 44.7% of them reported a decrease in the number of customers, and 60% of employers reported an increase in their income. Conclusion: The smokers were less convinced about the applicability/necessity of this ban than non-smokers. According to our results it could be said that smoking can also adversely affect implementation of the related ban. Employers should be informed that the ban will not affect their income.

AimsTo identify different types of models used in economic evaluations of smoking cessation, analyse the quality of the included models examining their attributes and ascertain their transferability to a new context.MethodsA systematic review of the literature on the economic evaluation of smoking cessation interventions published between 1996 and April 2015, identified via Medline, EMBASE, National Health Service (NHS) Economic Evaluation Database (NHS EED), Health Technology Assessment (HTA). The checklist‐based quality of the included studies and transferability scores was based on the European Network of Health Economic Evaluation Databases (EURONHEED) criteria. Studies that were not in smoking cessation, not original research, not a model‐based economic evaluation, that did not consider adult population and not from a high‐income country were excluded.FindingsAmong the 64 economic evaluations included in the review, the state‐transition Markov model was the most frequently used method (n = 30/64), with quality adjusted life years (QALY) being the most frequently used outcome measure in a life‐time horizon. A small number of the included studies (13 of 64) were eligible for EURONHEED transferability checklist. The overall transferability scores ranged from 0.50 to 0.97, with an average score of 0.75. The average score per section was 0.69 (range = 0.35–0.92). The relative transferability of the studies could not be established due to a limitation present in the EURONHEED method.ConclusionAll existing economic evaluations in smoking cessation lack in one or more key study attributes necessary to be fully transferable to a new context.

“…This may be explained partly by changes in smoking legislation in Denmark. A smoking ban in enclosed public areas was introduced in 2007, and it is conceivable that changes in public norms have already taken place before its introduction . It appears difficult to interpret effects of the Inter99 intervention completely independently of the influence of the smoking ban.…”

The potential of smoking cessation programmes and a smoking ban in public places: Comparing gain in life expectancy and cost effectiveness

Abstract: Our results indicate that smoking cessation programmes and a smoking ban in enclosed public places both in the short term and the long term are cost-effective strategies compared with the status quo.
