Objective:
[corrected] A population-based survey was conducted to know the attitudes towards new Italian smoke-free regulations and its impact on tobacco consumption.
Material And Methods:
We considered 3,114 subjects aged 15 or over, representative of the general adult Italian population.
Results:
Once smoke-free policies were introduced, support for them tended to increase. Smoke-free policies accounted for 8% decrease in cigarette consumption in the short run. Tobacco bans were almost universally accepted, and do not seem to unfavourably affect the business of restaurants or cafes.
Conclusions:
The results of our study, show the advantages of smoke-free legislations, which may have major public health implications.

Drugs Acting on Autonomic Ganglia: Stimulants
Ganglionic stimulants activate NM nicotinic receptors in autonomic ganglia, falling into two categories: nicotine mimetics [e.g., lobeline, dimethylpiperazine, tetramethylammonium] and muscarinic receptor agonists [e.g., muscarine, methacholine]. The first category's action is rapid and blocked by nicotinic receptor antagonists, while the second category's action is delayed and blocked by atropine-like agents. Nicotine, an alkaloid, affects the heart rate by stimulating sympathetic or...
