تقرير مهم حول منع التدخين في الأماكن العامة
الأخوة الأعزاء
كل عام و أنتم بخير و عيدكم مبارك و عساكم من عواده
. أدناه تقرير نشر في اكثر من وسيلة إعلام منها العام أو المتخصص طبيا .التقرير يشير إلى إنخفاض حاد في عدد الإصابات بالذبحات الصدرية بعد قرار منع التدخين في الأماكن العامة في اوروبا و أمريكا. عدد الذبحات الصدرية(جلطات قلبية) انخفض بمعدل من عشرة إلى سبعة عشر في المئة في السنة الأولى لمنع التدخين و انخفضت النسبة إلى 36 بالمئة بعد ثلاث سنين.... تساؤل برئ... هل ستشعر بالإطمئنان إذا ما اضطررت للجلوس في ديوانية أو مكان عام يرتاده المدخنون؟؟؟

Smoking bans reduce heart attacks
Smoking bans in public places have dramatically reduced heart attack rates, new data shows.
A combined analysis of data from Europe, US and Canada showed that smoking bans have cut heart attack rates by up to 17% in the first year and by as much as 36% 3 years later. The findings are published in Circulation.
UK figures published in The Sunday Times last week support this, showing a 10% drop in heart attack rates in England in 2007, when the smoking ban was introduced during the summer. Figures also show a 14% drop in Scotland following the smoking ban, introduced in 2006.
Dr Anna Gilmore of Bath University is leading the research into heart attack rates in England. "There is already overwhelming evidence that reducing people's exposure to cigarette smoke reduces hospital admissions due to heart attacks," said Dr Gilmore.
John Britton, director of the UK Centre for Tobacco Control Studies at Nottingham University, added: "We always knew a public smoking ban would bring rapid health benefits, but we have been amazed by just how big and how rapid they are."
New figures from the NHS also show that at least 70,000 lives have been saved by NHS Stop Smoking Services since they were established 10 years ago, and the number of people smoking in the UK has dropped from 28% to below 21%.
