The Smoke-free Premises and Vehicles (Wales) Regulations 2018

We are consulting on draft regulations that will:

• replace existing regulations which ban smoking in certain premises and in private vehicles carrying persons under 18
• set the conditions for designating areas for smoking within smoke-free hospital grounds and grounds of schools that provide accommodation for pupils
• place a time limit on the exemption that permits designating rooms in which smoking is permitted in mental health institutions
• place a time limit on the exemption that permits designating rooms in which smoking is permitted in hotels, guesthouses, inns and members’ clubs
