The purpose of this study was (a) to assess the concerns of restaurant representatives about a city ordinance that prohibited smoking in all restaurants prior to its enactment and (b) to determine if these concerns were realized 15 months after the ordinance had been in effect. Representatives from 34 randomly selected restaurants participated in both the pre- and post-interviews. Although 26.5 percent of the respondents were concerned that the ordinance would be difficult to enforce, 94 percent found the ordinance easy or very easy to enforce. While some customers appeared to have negative reactions to an ordinance that prohibited smoking, four times that many appeared to have positive reactions to the ordinance. Although approximately 12 percent of the respondents indicated that the ordinance had "a slightly negative effect on employees", the majority (88.2%) felt that the ordinance had either no effect or a positive effect on employees. Most respondents believed that the ordinance would have no effect on their business and most reported that the ordinance had no or no know effect on business. Although many restaurant representatives had concerns about a non-smoking ordinance prior to its enactment, restaurant representatives' self-reported experience with the ordinance suggests that most of these concerns were not realized.
(a)在一项禁止在所有餐厅吸烟的城市条例颁布之前,评估餐厅代表对此条例的担忧;(b)确定在该条例生效15个月后这些担忧是否成为现实。从34家随机挑选的餐厅中选出的代表参与了条例颁布前和颁布后的访谈。尽管26.5%的受访者担心该条例难以执行,但94%的受访者认为该条例易于或非常易于执行。虽然一些顾客对禁止吸烟的条例似乎有负面反应,但对此条例有积极反应的顾客数量是前者的四倍。尽管约12%的受访者表示该条例“对员工有轻微负面影响”,但大多数人(88.2%)认为该条例对员工没有影响或有积极影响。大多数受访者认为该条例对其业务没有影响,并且大多数人报告称该条例对业务没有影响或未知其影响。尽管许多餐厅代表在条例颁布前对无烟条例有所担忧,但餐厅代表对该条例的自我报告经验表明,这些担忧大多并未成为现实。
