Quick gains After a Smoking Ban by Catherine Saint Louis, March 31, 2014 - NY Times

Hospital visits for childhood asthma and premature births both declined about 10% in the year after the smoking ban took affect in North America and Europe

Only 16% of the worlds population is covered by comprehensive smoke free laws and 40% of children worldwide are regularly exposed to seconds hand smoke

There were some fears that banning smoking in public would lead to increase smoking in homes. But the opposite is true (studies have proven)

"Strong smoke-free laws change social norms about smoking and consequently people implement smoke free polices in their own homes as well" Said Hoanna Cohen - the director of the Institute for Global Tobacco Control at John Hopkins University School of Public Health "smoke free polices have a direct impact on child's health"
