Evidence

Quasi-experimentalPositive

In a 2-year longitudinal study of 4,001 Oklahomans aged 18-54, awareness was 81%; exposure doubled quit attempts among tobacco users, and exposed non-users were 1.5 times more likely to help someone quit (James 2015). Serial surveys 2007-2015 showed support for smoke-free bars rising from 23.7% to 55% (White 2015).
