英格兰地区自2007年实施公共场所禁烟令以来,因哮喘入院的儿童人数显著减少。这为禁烟有益民众健康提供了又一例证。英国科学家在调查英国医疗服务系统2002年以来的相关数据后发现,在实施禁烟令前,英格兰地区因哮喘入院的儿童人数每年增长2%;而在禁烟令实施一年后,因哮喘入院的儿童人数骤降12%,在其后两年中每年又下降约3%。 Since the introduction of a smoking ban in public places in England in 2007, the number of children admitted to hospital for asthma has significantly decreased. This provides yet another example of the health benefits of non-smoking. British scientists surveyed data from 2002 on the UK's health care system found that the number of children hospitalized with asthma in England increased by 2% per year before the smoking ban was implemented. Children admitted to asthma after one year of smoking ban The number plummeted 12%, dropping about 3% each year over the next two years.
