A study of bar staff has shown that their health has benefitted from the smoking ban.
The study of almost 200 Scottish bar staff has shown that they report a significant decrease in breathing difficulties in the year following the Scottish smoking ban in 2006.
The bar staff also reported that they had fewer sore throats in that period.
One surprising effect of the smoking ban shown by the study, is that there was also a decrease in breathing problems amongst bar staff who smoke themselves.
The study, funded by NHS Health Scotland and the Scottish Government, showed that those bar staff who reported respiratory problems fell from 69% to 57% following the smoking ban.
