Short term impact of smoke-free legislation in England: retrospective analysis of hospital admissions for myocardial infarction

TL;DR: There was a small but significant reduction in the number of emergency admissions for myocardial infarction after the implementation of smoke-free legislation in England, and this builds on previous work by showing that such declines are observed even when underlying reductions in admissions and potential confounders are controlled for.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of smoke-free legislation on children's exposure to secondhand smoke: cotinine data from the Health Survey for England

TL;DR: Overall exposure in children has not been greatly affected by the ban on smoking in enclosed public places, and the trend towards the adoption of smoke-free homes by parents who themselves smoke has received fresh impetus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trends in and predictors of second-hand smoke exposure indexed by cotinine in children in England from 1996 to 2006.

TL;DR: The overall level of SHS exposure in children as well as absolute inequalities in exposure have been declining and further efforts to encourage parents and carers to quit and to avoid smoking in the home would benefit child health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards a greater understanding of the illicit tobacco trade in Europe: a review of the PMI funded ‘Project Star’ report

TL;DR: PS overestimates illicit cigarette levels in some European countries and suggests PMI's supply chain control is inadequate; its publication serves the interests of PMI over those of the EU and its member states.
