Secondhand Smoke Fact Sheet - Repace Associates Ichiro Kawachi, PhD, Associate Professor Stanton Glantz, PhD., Professor Smoke-free restaurants and bars are universally mandated in the State of California, and they are working well and are spreading to other States and localities in the U.S.A. Studies in the U.S.A. on the economic impact of restrictions on smoking on restaurant sales for 81 localities in six states, 67 of which are 100% smokefree in restaurants, based upon objective sales tax data, indicate that smokefree restaurant laws do not affect restaurant business (Glantz and Smith, 1994; 1997; Glantz, 1999). Smoke-free workplaces are necessary primarily to protect the workers, and secondarily to protect the public from SHS. The tobacco industry has fomented fear of economic losses among restaurant owners, who often oppose restrictions on economic grounds, fearing a loss of business by smokers. However Biener and Fitzgerald (1999) have documented that many individuals avoid restaurants and bars because of SHS.
