| | By 1991, 85% of American companies restricted smoking in the workplace, including |
| | 30% with outright bans. In 1985, only 27% of U.S. companies restricted or prohibited |

| | In 1991, the Oakland Coliseum (home of baseball's Athletics) became the nation's |
| | first open-air stadium to ban smoking. By 1994, smoking was banned in 20 of 28 |
| | major league ballparks, 16 of them outdoors. And 20 ballparks in 1994 do not allow |
| | signs and billboards that advertise tobacco products. The Rose Bowl is also now |
| | nonsmoking. |

| | Smoke free workplaces in the United States reduced the number of cigarettes |
| | smoked by nearly 10 billion from 1988 to 1994. If all workplaces were smoke free, |
| | U.S. cigarette consumption would be reduced by 20.9 billion cigarettes each year. |

| | Having 100% smoke free workplaces reduced smoking prevalence by 6 percentage |
| | points and average daily consumption among smokers by 14% relative to workers |
| | subject to minimal or no restrictions. The authors from the Center for Economics |
| | Research in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, concluded that requiring all |
| | workplaces to be smoke free would reduce smoking prevalence by 10%. |
