13 As discussed by speakers from Ireland at the National Conference in Edinburgh held on 9 September 2004, the first economic analyses are only now becoming available, but the results are not conclusive as they have to be interpreted in the context of larger economic trends in the licensed trade and hospitality sector. Given that this had been in decline before the ban was introduced, any further decline cannot necessarily be attributed to the smoking ban. There is a need for economic data to be collected over a longer period of time to give a more accurate indication of how the legislation has affected the licensed trade and hospitality sector.
14 The main exception to this is the licensed trade and hospitality sector and construction and transport industries where employees may be subjected to smoky environments either because their colleagues smoke or their customers do.
