Smoking in public places: An analysis of public attitudes surveys 2003/4

Wednesday, September 15, 2004 Save & Share

Public attitude surveys on smoking in public places are hot news, particularly those whose results suggest support for changes to the law. Between January 2003 and July 2004, an average of one major survey on the issue was published each month.

The purpose of all these public attitude surveys has been to shape public and political debate.
