What is the First Minister’s assessment of the impact of the Smoke-free Premises and Vehicles (Wales) Regulations that came into force on 1 March 2021?
I am proud that we became the first country in the UK to make hospital grounds, school grounds and public playgrounds smoke-free, protecting public health from harmful second-hand smoke and contributing to our record-low levels of smoking prevalence. I am pleased the UK Government is considering similar regulations in England.
