To spell it out:

It is not possible to state with certainty the precise actual effect without actually implementing the ban (a point I suggest you avoided, with an IMO invalid comparison with pilot pub opening hours). However the general evidence for the harm done by tobacco smoke provides more than sufficient evidence to proceed on the grounds that doing something must be better than doing nothing.
Ah I see, even though there is no actual evidence do it anyway, to then see whether we were right all along. We're right, don't care what you say, and who cares about evidence because it may take alot of time to implement. A bit like Blair and his WMD's
