| Abstract: | The aim of this thesis is to determine whether the smoking ban implemented in May 2017 has had any impact on sales in Czech Republic’s food and beverages services sector. This is done by constructing three different regression models on two outcome measures in order to examine the statistical significance of the smoking ban in these models. In two of the three models, the smoking ban shows no significant effect, while in one model it shows a positive effect. The positive effect, however, is argued to be partly due to the implementation of EET half a year prior to implementation of the smoking ban. This thesis can therefore definitely conclude no adverse effect of the smoking ban on sales in food and beverages services sector. |
