dc.description.abstractThe number of hospital admissions was compared for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the 24 months preceding and following the introduction of a ban on smoking in indoor spaces in Uruguay, March 2006. The study covered all AMI admissions in 37 hospitals, accounting for 79.3% of AMI admissions in Uruguay. Results indicate that the ban on smoking in indoor public spaces led to a reduction of 17.1% in admissions for AMI after two years, with the greatest reduction occurring among younger persons admitted to private institutions.en
