Wales Introduces New Smoking Laws - Talking Retail

From today (1 March), all hospital grounds, school grounds, public playgrounds, and outdoor care settings for children in Wales will be required to be smoke-free.

In addition, over the next year and by 1 March 2022, smoking in bedrooms in hotels, guest houses will be phased out and self-contained holiday accommodation will be required to be smoke-free. Mental Health Units will also be required to phase out any smoking rooms by 1 September 2022.

Eluned Morgan, the Welsh minister for health and social services, said: “Extending the smoke-free requirements to more places will further protect the public from harmful second-hand smoke and will help reduce a known trigger for ex-smokers to restart.
