A new paper concluding that drunk driving increases after smokefree bar laws are passed was just published in the Journal of Public Economics (Adams and Cotti, J Public Econ 92:1288-1305;2008). Stan Glantz at UCSF, a pioneer in tobacco-free policy, set the record straight through his analysis of the research, disseminated through smokefree.net.. After detailing the article's questionable statistical practices and biased literature citations, Glantz concludes by emphasizing that even if we accept the authors' conclusions that a smokefree law is associated with 2.54 more accidents per year in the average county, the benefits in terms of just reduced heart attacks (about 20%) far exceed this cost.
