Wales To Ban Smoking In Cars With Children
Wales is to introduce a ban on smoking in cars when children are present, First Minister Carwyn Jones has announced.
Mr Jones said that the ban aims to protect children from the effects of second-hand smoke in a confined space.
The move makes Wales the first region in the UK to enact such a ban, but Mr Jones is understood to be in contact with the Department of Health in England to "co-ordinate approaches" on the issue.
