The Smoking Debate: a Look At the Issues Surrounding Smoking Bans in Restaurants

David C. Bojanic

University of Massachusetts at Amherst

There is currently a debate over whether smoking should be banned in restaurants and other public places. The public health officials are concerned about employees and customers being exposed to secondhand smoke. Restaurant owners feel they should be allowed to determine their own policies based on market conditions. The purpose of this study is to examine the issues in the smoking debate based on a survey of restaurant operators and a survey of customers in a city where a smoking ban was about to go into effect. All viewpoints were considered and conclusions were drawn based on the empirical evidence.

Key Words: Key words: smoking bans • restaurants • public health.
