Smoking ban - tracing the unintended consequences

See the Boston Globe, (via Tyler Cowen)

A rigorous statistical examination has found that smoking bans increase drunken-driving fatalities... jurisdictions with smoking bans often border jurisdictions without bans, and some bars may skirt the ban, so that smokers can bypass the ban with extra driving... The authors estimate that smoking bans increase fatal drunken-driving accidents by about 13 percent, or about 2.5 such accidents per year for a typical county.

Go its own way, just referring to someone else..

No surprise yet again.
The anti-smoking lobby cannot and certainly will not think outside of their box.
Non smokers, however, fail to realize what harm is done in their name. Social cohesion is far more important than extremist propaganda.
