清洁室内空气法易于实施，为公众所接受，减少非吸烟者接触二手烟，并有助于减少整体卷烟消费。目前，美国各地有数千项清洁室内空气法，大多数美国人生活在工作场所、餐馆或酒吧完全禁止吸烟的地区。绝大多数科学证据表明，清洁室内空气政策对经济没有负面影响，许多研究发现，这可能会对当地企业产生一些积极影响。尽管烟草业赞助的研究试图制造相反的恐惧。在推广清洁室内空气法方面的进一步进展将取决于对清洁室内空气法的经济影响的持续记录，特别是在酒店业。本文回顾了清洁室内空气法的传播，对公众健康的影响，以及实施清洁室内空气法的经济影响的科学证据。
Clean indoor air laws are easily implemented, are well accepted by the public, reduce nonsmoker exposure to secondhand smoke, and contribute to a reduction in overall cigarette consumption. There are currently thousands of clean indoor air laws throughout the Unites States, and the majority of Americans live in areas where smoking is completely prohibited in workplaces, restaurants, or bars. The vast majority of scientific evidence indicates that there is no negative economic impact of clean indoor air policies, with many studies finding that there may be some positive effects on local businesses. This is despite the fact that tobacco industry-sponsored research has attempted to create fears to the contrary. Further progress in the diffusion of clean indoor air laws will depend on the continued documentation of the economic impact of clean indoor air laws, particularly within the hospitality industry. This article reviews the spread of clean indoor air laws, the effect on public health, and the scientific evidence of the economic impact of implementation of clean indoor air laws.
