It is our intention that regulations to implement the smoke-free areas as detailed in the Public Health (Wales) Act 2017 will come into force by early 2020. I provided the National Assembly with a written statement on 22 July on the publication of the consultation summary report to the draft Smoke-free Premises and Vehicles (Wales) Regulations 2018: https://gov.wales/written-statement-consultation-summary-report-draft-smoke-free-premises-and-vehicles-wales.
