[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS Cr98R0x9. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. We examined the rate of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) deaths in Massachusetts before and after the implementation of a comprehensive smoke-free workplace law in July 2004. Methods. We used Poisson regression models to examine the impact of the state law in cities and towns with and without previous local smoking bans and the effect of the local laws for the period of 1999 through 2006. Results. The AMI mortality rate decreased by 7.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]=3.3%, 11.4%) after implementation of the state law. The state ban had an impact in cities and towns with no prior local smoking ban (9.2% decrease ; P<. but not cities and towns with a prior local smoking ban. however there was nonsignificant ci="-5.0%," decrease associated the ban that preceded effect of state modest in first months after implementation much larger p conclusions. comprehensive statewide smoke-free workplace laws massachusetts were an estimated fewer ami deaths per year. these results add to evidence suggesting air are lower rates ami.>
