Smoking in cars when children are present will be banned in Wales, the first minister has announced.
Carwyn Jones and Health Minister Mark Drakeford have said a consultation on the landmark ruling will be launched.
They say it aims to protect youngsters from the effects of second-hand smoke in a confined space.
Wales became the first country in the UK to consider tackling the issue of smoking in cars when children are present.
Those who flout a ban could face fines and points on their licences.
