Secondhand smoke (SHS) is one of major public health threats in morbidity and mortality. Several national and regional comprehensive smoke-free regulations have been implemented to prevent public health exposure, but not in Korea. The purpose of this manuscript was to review impacts of the national or regional smoke-free legislations on indoor air quality, health effects and smoking behaviors. Indoor air quality has been improved significantly after smoke free policy. Such improvement was measured by fine particulates and urinary cotinine. Respiratory and cardiovascular health effects were significantly improved after smoke free policy. This is an indirect evidence of association between secondhand smoke exposure and the health effects. Respiratory symptoms were improved as short as one month after smoke free policy. Smoke free policy was also associated with improved perception of danger of secondhand smoke. Reduction of smoking prevalence was also unexpected benefit of smoke free policy. As reviewed in this paper, smoke free policy can be beneficial to indoor air quality, health effects and smoking behaviors. Since Korea does not have comprehensive smoke free policy yet, it is strongly recommended to implement national comprehensive smoke free policy.

<P><B>Introduction:</B></P><P>The Korean government implemented a smoking ban at square floor area of ≥150 m<SUP>2</SUP>, rather than <150 m<SUP>2</SUP>, restaurants and pubs from July 2013. This study examined the effects of the smoking regulations in restaurants and pubs in terms of the air quality, biomarker levels and health effects on staff.</P><P><B>Methods:</B></P><P>Particulate matter smaller than 2.5 µm (PM<SUB>2.5</SUB>) was measured in 146 facilities before and 1 month after the ban. The urinary cotinine and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1- butanol (NNAL) levels were measured in 101 staff members at 77 facilities before and 1 month after the ban. We also measured self-reported respiratory and sensory symptoms on both phases.</P><P><B>Results:</B></P><P>Of the 146 facilities, 121 facilities were included in the PM<SUB>2.5</SUB> analysis. In ≥150 m<SUP>2</SUP> pubs, the indoor PM<SUB>2.5</SUB> concentration was significantly reduced after the ban (<I>p</I> < .05). While the urinary cotinine concentrations of the staff in all facilities were not changed after the ban, the total NNAL concentrations of the staff in ≥150 m<SUP>2</SUP> pubs were significantly reduced after the ban (<I>p</I> < .05). The health effects on staff show that only sensory symptoms significantly improved in ≥150 m<SUP>2</SUP> facilities after the ban (<I>p</I> < .05).</P><P><B>Conclusions:</B></P><P>The smoking ban significantly reduced the levels of PM<SUB>2.5</SUB> and total NNAL concentrations in ≥150 m<SUP>2</SUP> pubs and improved sensory health among staff in ≥150 m<SUP>2</SUP> facilities. The results of this study can be useful in supporting an expansion of the smoking ban in all indoor places, including <150 m<SUP>2</SUP> restaurants and pubs.</P>
