| | Six months after institution of a workplace smoking ban in Australia, there was a |
| | reduction in consumption of 5.2 cigarettes per day on average for smokers. Over a |
| | two-year period, the estimated net effect of the ban was to reduce consumption by |
| | about 3.5 cigarettes per day. |

| | A study from Australia found that in workplaces with smoking bans (either total or |
| | applied only to the usual work station), workday cigarette consumption was reduced |
| | by an average of five cigarettes per day compared with leisure-day consumption. This |
| | would decrease the yearly intake of the average smoker by 1150 cigarettes per year. |
| | Workplace smoking bans would result in a major loss in retail sales and revenue for |
| | tobacco companies, which is why they are aggressively fighting proposed workplace |
| | restrictions and smoking bans. |
