Strengthening the laws around smoking in public in Wales will further protect non-smokers from second-hand smoke and de-normalise smoking for children and young people.

While most hospitals already have no smoking policies in their grounds, it is currently difficult for staff to enforce this.

Health Secretary, Vaughan Gething, has visited the maternity unit at Glan Clwyd Hospital, where staff told him they had received complaints from mothers about people smoking outside the hospital when they enter and leave with their young babies.

The Hospital Management Team has also received complaints about people smoking at the newly refurbished main entrance and at other entrances across the site.

Never mind diesel particulates killing our kids, let’s stop folk smoking in fresh air annoying, but not harming anyone but themselves. Next, eating burger and fries in public....
 
How much Tax do the Gov get from fags and tobacco sales - and what do they use that income for? What services will they cut, if that income isn't there?
