Smoke ban draft
SMOKEFREE South West have welcomed the announcement that a consultation on draft regulations to ban smoking in cars with child passengers is under way.
According to a YouGov poll conducted in March for the charity ASH and Smokefree South West, 77 per cent of adults agreed smoking should be banned in cars that are carrying children younger than 18.
In Parliament, the measure to allow Government to proceed with regulations to bring in the ban was approved by a majority of 269.
