The National Assembly for Wales is introducing the Smoke-Free Premises etc (Wales) Regulations 2007 on 2nd April 2007. The aim of the legislation is to protect people in Wales from the harmful effects of passive smoking.

The law will require most premises, if enclosed or substantially enclosed to be smoke free. This includes previously designated "smoking rooms".

Most public premises will be affected by the new legislation including restaurants, pubs, bars, shops, cinemas, shopping centres, leisure centres, other enclosed workplaces and public transport.
