“Vaping and e-cigarettes should be treated the same as smoking and be banned in public areas like schools, playgrounds and hospital grounds according to councillors. New legislation came into force from March 1 banning smoking from school grounds, hospitals and play areas, with Welsh Government leaving the decision on vaping up to local authorities. Cllr Bryan Davies supported this and said that vaping should be treated the same as smoking. Questions were raised about how the legislation covered council land leased by community councils and how enforcement would be resourced. The council will be the enforcement body for premises while the police will enforce the ban on smoking in cars with children.”
