Minister, thankfully, the rates of smoking in Wales have been driven down over a period of years, but, unfortunately, smoking still takes a terrible toll on health in Wales. I believe that public policy and the restrictions imposed on smoking have played a significant role, though, in driving down the prevalence of smoking. A survey this year by Action on Smoking and Health and YouGov showed strong public support for extending the smoking ban as it applies to public places in Wales. So, what plans does the Welsh Government have to build on the success of restricting smoking in public places in Wales?
