Smoking in Public Places

Paper Summary:

This paper studies the issues related to smoking in public places. The paper argues that smoking should be restricted in public places for three main reasons. First, secondhand smoke is a known danger to health. Second, smoking impedes many social activities. Finally, it looks at the economic effects of smoking, from the economic costs of lost working hours to taxpayer dollars in Medicare.

From the Paper:

"The health dangers are even more pronounced for children. Health experts have attributed the rising rates of lower respiratory tract infection among babies and infants to secondhand smoke exposure. Every year, the EPA estimates that between 150,000 to 300,000 respiratory infections among infants below 18 months are directly attributable to secondhand smoke. In addition, at least one million children with asthma stand to be adversely affected by any exposure to cigarette smoke."
