Welsh Assembly amends e-cigarettes proposals


Last month, Mark Drakeford, the health and social services minister announced that the Welsh government would amend proposals to restrict the use of e-cigarettes in enclosed and substantially-enclosed public and work places. 


The proposed ban, contained in the Public Health (Wales) Bill, would now only apply to places where there is a potential risk to children, such as hospitals, schools, restaurants and public transport.
