The tobacco industry has claimed that smoke-free bar laws caused bar revenues to decline by 30%. After we controlled for economic variables, we found that bars located in areas with smoke-free laws sold for prices that were comparable to prices for similar bars in areas with no smoking restrictions. Other studies have reported that sales did not decline, and we also found that neither price nor sales declined. Therefore, bar owners' concerns that smoke-free laws will reduce the value of their bars are unfounded.
烟草行业声称,无烟酒吧法导致酒吧收入下降了30%。在我们控制了经济变量之后,我们发现,位于有禁烟法地区的酒吧售价与没有吸烟限制地区类似酒吧的价格相当。其他研究报告称销售额并未下降,我们也发现价格和销售额都没有下降。因此,酒吧老板担心无烟法会降低酒吧价值是没有根据的。
