A WELSH Government campaign to curb children's exposure to second-hand smoke will be rolling into Swansea this summer.

The Fresh Start Wales summer tour is being kick-started today to urge families to sign-up to a smoke-free summer.

It will ask mums and dads to sign up to a summer promise to keep their cars smoke-free on any day trips or holidays they take with their families.

The campaign will be rolling into Swansea city centre on Saturday, August 25.

    “Who would police this if there was no smoking in YOUR OWN Car , you are NOT Allowed to use a Phone but people still do, and that's just as Bad as smoking ( that kills as well), and what would happen if there where all grown ups in the car would that also Apply..?”

    “Smokers should be treated like lepers, worse than that like the drug using low-life's that they are. This filthy costly habit should be banned now. Fact is they are no different to other drug users and yes we call them low-life as well”

    “I gave up of my own accord 30 years ago. But if the Welsh "government" or any other politician carries on telling people to stop smoking here, there and everywhere (but are happy to take the massive tax revenue from fags) I think I might just start again.”

    The major difference here is that coffee doesn't harm the health of those around you; smoking does.”

    “I'd feel safer in a car with a smoker than in a car with a group of noisy, unruly children.

    There are more people with breathing difficulties than ever before - Funny how they live in houses where no one smokes isn't it? Surely can't be engine exhaust fumes, industrial pollution, lack of proper exercise and obesity playing a part?
    Or can it?”

    “If I want to smoke on a bench then I will. I'm outside and if you don't like it then you are always welcome to move. Why should I be made to feel awkward just because I smoke. The smell of Coffee repluses me but I wouldn't get offended by you!!!

    Y are the government trying to stop me smoking in my car, that I work hard to pay for. If their prepared to pay for my car then by alll means stop me smoking in it. But until then don't try to rule our lives”

    “Due to the ban, smokers were told to remove themselfs from indoor's.... (Summer & Winter ) Therefore,All drinking ( coffee etc: ) should be confined to indoor's only ( Summer & Winter ).”

    “These politicians need to spend money and effort on making smoking illegal, what is the point of these campaigns when the power to make smoking illegal is with the same politicians who fund the campaign that encourages people to stop smoking?
    Make smoking illegal or leave smokers alone, it's not illegal, stop trying to shame people into not smoking, it doesn't work! (an ex-smoker with experience of trying to kick the habit)”

    “I am not a smoker myself, but why do the Assembly want to control peoples lives. People pollute when driving cars people drink and ruin lives. Get back to basics first. Stop giving benefits to lazy family's, sort our hospitals. People in the assembly are costing tax payers millions. Get ride of them they are a waste of tax payers money.”
