Report of the Director of Public Health

The Cabinet considered the report of the Director of Public Health on a proposal to introduce a voluntary smokefree code within all children’s play areas managed by the Council, in order to reduce the exposure of young children to smoking behaviour and reduce the likelihood of them becoming smokers in the future.

This was a Key Decision and was included in the Council’s Forward Plan of Key Decisions.

RESOLVED:

That approval be given to the implementation of a voluntary code to make children’s play areas managed by the Council smokefree.
