Belief in the Ban

Nia Jeffreys of Asthma UK Cymru said;

"Tobacco smoke excludes people with asthma from public places, and 40% of adults with asthma say they avoid smoky pubs and restaurants. It is excellent news that people with asthma will now be protected from the terrible effect of other people's smoke on their health."

Smoking & Health

Smoking during pregnancy has been identified as a cause of cot death. The risk of cot death is approximately trebled in infants whose mothers smoke both during and after pregnancy. The more cigarettes smoked, the greater the risk.
