“…Then, of course, these economic externalities should be included in an economic analysis of smoking bans. Most of the literature suggests that smoking bans exert no adverse effects on restaurant owners (see Glantz [15] as well as Craven and Marlow [8] or Melberg and Lund [27]). However, the overall economic effects of restrictive smoking laws seem to be complex [10].…”

Smoking bans are gaining widespread support in the European Union and other countries. The vast majority of these bans are partial bans given that smoking is still permitted in certain places. This article investigates the role of partial smoking bans in coping with externalities caused by the secondhand smoking problem. Although it is widely known that Pigouvian taxation is superior to a perfect ban, this result does not necessarily carry over to a partial ban because taxes cannot (easily) be differentiated according to location. We show that under an easy and intuitive condition, (1) enacting a partial smoking ban alone always improves social welfare (a) in an unregulated society and (b) even in a regulated society if externalities can be eliminated, and (2) it is ensured that a combination of Pigouvian tax and a partial smoking ban leads to a higher social optimum than implementing corrective Pigouvian taxation alone.

“…The transaction costs of reaching agreements would overwhelm the problem.'' 8 Another situation is smoking externalities within a family or the same household. Here, it seems more realistic to assume that a Coasean solution can be found by an agreement between family members.…”

“…When put in this context, public strategy towards ETS is irrational, harsh and imposes an excessive burden. Of course, there remains the undoubted externality of ETS, addressed by Craven and Marlow (2008), of ‘nuisance’ in the form of irritation, effects on clothing and non‐smokers' rights to smoke free air.…”

Good information is necessary for markets to allocate resources efficiently. Tobacco is a demerit good; smoking endangers smokers but also exerts externalities on non-smokers. Public policies, however, foster misinformation, are contradictory and damage public health. Current policies also deny feedback from the tobacco industry and reduce consumer information about tobacco products that could substantially reduce the harmful effects of smoking.
