The benefits in New York were seen almost immediately.In 2004,just one year after New York’s smoking ban,there were 3,800 fewer hospital admissions for heart attacks.New Yorkers saved
56 million on health care costs that year.In 1965,42 percent of all New York adults were tobacco users.Today,that number has dropped to just 18 percent.
