Why is it important?
The implementation of a total smoke-free law in Spain was associated with an immediate step change in cigarette sales, indicating that the total removal of exposure to tobacco smoke was effective in the reduction of tobacco consumption.
Perspectives
Our results indicate that, in Spain, partial bans on smoking in public places fail, only a total tobacco ban works.
