Several studies have clearly shown a dramatic benefit to public health as a result of smoking bans.
The most recent, published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, looked at the effect of a smoking ban implemented in Pueblo, Colo.

Nearby areas without a ban showed no decrease in such events and the demographics of Pueblo residents did not change in any other way.
