This study assessed the potential effect of smoke-free policies on bar and restaurant patronage.
Random-digit dialing techniques were used in surveying a representative sample of Massachusetts adults (n = 2356) by telephone.
Approximately 61% of the respondents predicted no change in their use of restaurants in response to smoke-free policies, 30% predicted increased use, and 8% predicted decreased use. In turn, 69% of the respondents predicted no change in their patronage of bars, while 20% predicted increased use and 11% predicted decreased use.
These results suggest that smoke-free policies are likely to increase overall patronage of bars and restaurants.
本研究评估了无烟政策对酒吧和餐厅客流量的潜在影响。
采用随机数字拨号技术,通过电话对马萨诸塞州成年人的代表性样本(n = 2356)进行调查。
约61%的受访者预计,无烟政策实施后他们去餐厅的次数不会改变,30%预计会增加,8%预计会减少。相应地,69%的受访者预计去酒吧的次数不会改变,20%预计会增加,11%预计会减少。
这些结果表明,无烟政策可能会增加酒吧和餐厅的总体客流量。
