Wales to ban smoking in April
First minister Rhodri Morgan has announced that the Assembly Government aims to ban smoking in all enclosed public places in Wales from 2 April 2007.
Draft regulations for the legislation are currently under consultation on issues such as definitions of ‘enclosed’, proposed exemptions, signage requirements and enforcement arrangements.
Once the consultation ends in October, the regulations will then go through the relevant assembly committees and plenary sessions.
Health minister Brian Gibbons said: “To try and raise awareness of the risks of second-hand smoke, we are running a public awareness campaign on the dangers. Over the coming weeks we will launch television and radio adverts filmed in smoky environments to raise awareness of the harmful effects of second-hand smoke on non-smokers.
“To support the adverts, washroom posters and beer mats will be launched in local pubs.” Details: www.smokingbanwales.co.uk
