- Title
“But it just has that sort of feel about it, a leper”—Stigma, smoke-free legislation and public health.
- Authors
Ritchie, Deborah; Amos, Amanda; Martin, Claudia
- Abstract
Introduction:: The Scottish smoke-free legislation has had considerable success, with high compliance resulting in significant health benefits and the increased denormalization of smoking. International literature on the impact of smoke-free legislation has mostly focused on the success of such policies. Relatively little consideration has been given to the potentially negative, albeit unintended, consequences of smoke-free policies within different social and cultural contexts, in particular the increased stigmatization of smokers.
