First Minister Carwyn Jones proposed to ban smoking in cars carrying children, if children’s exposure to second-hand smoke did not reduce as a result of a campaign.

According to Wales Online, Jones said that a ban would be designed first and foremost to protect children from second-hand smoke as well as encouraging adults to give up smoking, but will not be considered until the end of a three- year campaign warning drivers about the dangers to children in the car of lighting up while driving.
The move from the Welsh Government comes less than two weeks after the British Medical Association called for drivers to be prevented from lighting up in their vehicles. (pi)
