For a Tobacco Free Wales
The smokefree legislation introduced in 2007 has massively reduced people's exposure to secondhand smoke in most enclosed workplaces and public places. The Smoke Free Living initiative looks to further protect the public from the harm of second-hand smoke by working towards reducing smoking in homes and cars.

Every year, around 114,000 smokers in the UK die as a result of their addiction.
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."
