My dog has a better grasp of statistics than this. There is no way six months of looking at a population this size tells you anything of significance about whether a smoking ban was responsible for a reported reduction in heart attacks. If passive smoking takes decades to produce negative effects, how in hell did a ban reverse this in six months? There's no information about other changes people might have made, no information about enforcement, there's no information here period. How about some numbers on how many people froze to death while smoking outside?
Note well, I don't smoke. I don't like the smell of smoke. But health Nazis aren't allowed on Cold Mountain and this reeks of nanny-state propaganda.
