Park E, Cho S, Seo HG, et al. - Through a longitudinal cohort study involving Korean adult smokers, researchers documented the variations in Korean smokers’ attitudes towards smoking bans between 2005 and 2010, and investigated the impact of anti-smoking advertising as a correlate of support for total smoking bans in public places. More than 80% of Korean smokers were informed of the harms of secondhand smoke (SHS). Between 2005 and 2010, the proportion of smokers who supported smoke-free restaurants or smoke-free bars doubled. Smokers who were cognizant of the dangers of SHS demonstrated a greater likelihood to support a total smoking ban in workplaces. Observing anti-smoking advertising or information, on the other hand, was not significantly linked to support for a total smoking ban in public places. Overall, between 2005 and 2008, Korean smokers became more supportive of smoking bans in public places.
