Protection on smoking population in the workplace

There has been a dramatic increase in the fraction of the working population protected by total bans on smoking in the workplace, increasing from 3 percent in 1986 to 64 percent in 1996. These restrictions have two effects on smokers as they are implemented. They increase the rate at which
smokers attempt to quit, and they reduce the number of cigarettes smoked per day.

Once restrictions on smoking in the workplace have been successfully implemented, they continue to have the effect of reducing the number of cigarettes smoked per day, and they increase the success rate of smokers who are attempting to quit. There may also be a small effect of increasing the frequency with which smokers attempt to quit.
