Abstract in brief

  • The study found that lower socioeconomic groups, especially those with less education, had higher smoking rates and lower quit ratios, and these disparities increased after the public smoking ban was implemented.
  • While the smoking ban initially reduced overall smoking prevalence and increased quitting, these effects were temporary, and smoking rates eventually returned to pre-ban levels.
  • Importantly, the implementation of the smoking ban temporarily decreased smoking rates across all groups but also widened the socioeconomic gap in smoking behaviors, meaning inequalities in smoking increased after the ban.]
