Smoking bans in public places are considered an important public health intervention. The impact of such bans on health, and especially self-reported health, has not been widely considered in the literature. This paper investigates the impact of a public smoking ban on self-reported health status in Great Britain. We find that there are benefits for non-smoking women, but no benefits for smokers.
