h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I must check on my facts (from the World Health Organisation, as I remember), however I read not long ago that there was a community in the US where smoking was banned completely. Within 6 months deaths from heart attacks had lessened by almost 60% and stayed at the lower rate while the ban was in force. Later on, when the ban was reversed, heart attacks went back up to their former level.

See especially what makes cigarettes attractive to women and the effect advertising has.

This may be the community, however I can't find the World Health Organisation report.
