    workers from involuntary exposure to ETS.
  • Both business owners and patrons may be issued a
    citation.
  • Is enforced at the lowest jurisdictional level.
  • Does not apply to owner operated establishments
    or Native American (sovereign) lands among other
    exemptions.

Quality Literature on Smoke-Free Bars and
Restaurants
  • Data for towns with smoke-free restaurant laws
  • Massachusetts (Bartosch and Pope, 1999)
  • New York City (Hyland et al., 1999)
  • Data for towns with smoke-free restaurant and bar
    laws
  • California and Colorado (Glantz and Smith, 1994,
    1997)

16
Quality Literature on Smoke-Free Bars and
Restaurants
  • Aggregate sales data for state restaurant and bar
    laws
  • California (Glantz, 2000)
  • Taxable sales and tourism
  • 3 States and 6 cities (Glantz and Charlesworth,
    1999)

17
Poor Quality Literature on Smoke-Free Bars and
Restaurants
  • Supported by Tobacco Industry
  • Survey of bar owners on predicted impacts or
    anecdotal information
  • Bizarre time periods or inappropriate control
    groups for comparison
  • Non-peer reviewed

18
Data
  • From California Board of Equalization (BOE) from
    Q1 of 1990 to Q4 of 2000
  • Categorized as follows
  • Eating and drinking establishments that serve all
    types of liquor (about 25 stand-alone bars)
  • Eating and drinking establishments that serve
    beer and wine

    alcoholic beverages

Methodology
  • Examine bar sales divided by all retail sales
  • Tries to account for underlying economic trends
    and inflation
  • Examine bar sales divided by all eating and
    drinking sales
  • Change in proportion

21
Methodology
  • Variables considered for modeling
  • Quarter, Time
  • Change in intercept and slope for smoke-free
    restaurants
  • Change in intercept and slope for smoke-free bar
    law
  • Autoregressive error terms
  • Proc Autoreg in SAS V8

Bar/All ED Results
  • Change in intercept and slope after
    implementation of smoke-free bar law
  • Change in intercept and slope after
    implementation of smoke-free restaurant law

27
Conclusions
  • Slowing in decrease of bar/retail sales
    associated with the smoke-free restaurant law
  • Due to only 25 of bars being stand alone bars,
    the law could have increased sales at the 75
    bar/restaurant combinations
  • No negative change in bar sales for either
    smoke-free law

28
Conclusions
  • The decrease in bar/all ED sales has reversed
    and is now increasing
  • A portion of it can be explained by the
    smoke-free restaurant and the smoke-free bar law
  • Limitations
  • Retail sales are changing at a rate different
    than bar sales ? possible change in consumption ?
    change in demographics
  • 25 of bars are stand alone bars

29
Conclusions
  • Bar patrons - spending more time in bars
  • Smokers prefer smoke-free bars and restaurants
  • Because of large scale of data, length of time
    and sound methodology, use to contradict
    anecdotal data from TI and front groups
