Proposals to make private vehicles smokefree when carrying children
Seeks views on proposed draft regulations for ending smoking in private vehicles carrying children.
Detail
The Children and Families Act 2014 gave the Secretary of State for Health the power to legislate against smoking in vehicles to protect children’s health.
The purpose of this consultation is to seek views on draft regulations that would prohibit smoking in private vehicles carrying children. The draft regulations explain how the ban would work in practice.
Alongside the consultation, we have also published an Impact Assessment and Equality Analysis.
