The research suggests that almost 1,500 stillbirths and newborn deaths were averted in the first four years after the smoking ban was introduced in England in 2007<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A really important study from the U.K, \u00a0furthering bolstering the long-ago established benefit of smoking bans.<\/p>\n

Many, many, many, many<\/em> studies claim that smoking bans result in a drop in heart attack admissions in local hospitals. (These studies drive smokers’ righters and Michael Siegel out of their minds, but there are SO many of these studies that all reach the same conclusion, only a smoking fanatic would adore them.). A new study from the University of Edinburgh<\/a> now suggests that stats back up the hypothesis that smoking bans result in lower rates of stillbirths and newborn deaths. \u00a0According to this study, stillbirths and newborn deaths both dropped 8 percent.<\/p>\n

It’s well known that smoking is a huge risk factor for stillbirths. This study backs the idea that secondhand smoke also causes stillbirths.<\/p>\n

From the University Herald article:<\/p>\n

“This study is further evidence of the potential power of smoke-free legislation to protect present and future generations from the devastating health consequences of smoking and second hand exposure to tobacco smoke,” Aziz Sheikh, co-director of the University of Edinburgh’s Center for Medical Informatics, said in a statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the article, the number of stillbirths and newborn deaths dropped by 1,500 in the U.K. in the four years since a smoking ban was put in in place. 1,500 lives saved, just in the U.K. How many thousands of lives have been saved in the U.S. and worldwide by similar smoking bans?<\/p>\n
