In Colorado they saw significant drops in heart attacks after the smoking ban took affect;
Hewett says South Dakota could see a drop as many as 400 fewer heart attacks within the first year of a smoking ban. He cites a study conducted in Pueblo, Colorado, which found the number of people admitted for heart attacks dropped 27 percent in 18 months, and 41 percent in 3 years after a smoking ban was implemented.
How dare government is concerned about the health of the public! They should be smoking, drinking and gambling instead of taking care of themselves!
