new smoking ban fires up attempts to quit habit

Link: toledoblade.com -- State's new smoking ban fires up attempts to quit habit.

The state's new smoking ban has triggered a ripple effect locally of people who are seeking professional assistance so they can kick the habit. Health officials in the area have seen increases in cessation classes, hypnosis treatments, and even referrals to tobacco quit lines recently - and they're connecting those jumps to the ban that was approved last year and started being enforced just this month.
