This prohibits tobacco smoking in workplaces and other public places. As several studies have been conducted to investigate the implementation of the smoking ban. Effects of health, tobacco consumption, businesses, and prison smoking restrictions have been documented. The effect of smoking ban towards health has reduced the risk of coronary heart disease and heart attacks and with a lower rate of cardiac, cerebrovascular and respiratory disease hospitalization. The smoking restriction has reduced the rates of smoking through a combination of stigmatization and reduction in the social cues for smoking.
