Abstract
Smoke-free dining in South Australia is popular and has resulted in increased perceived enjoyment for patrons. The legislative change has apparently been adhered to by both the majority of restaurateurs and customers, and was inexpensive for restaurateurs to implement. Smoke-free dining legislation can be implemented with confidence.
