        Abstract

        ASH Wales launched a nationwide campaign to make all children’s play areas smoke-free when it emerged that just one local authority in Wales had banned smoking in their playgrounds in 2012.

        We believe that children have the right to a clean and smoke-free environment when playing or meeting with their friends, particularly in areas that belong to them.

        ASH Wales has worked with local councils,  youth forums and schools producing a toolkit and smokefree playground film involving children themselves as part of the campaign.

        As of January 2014 13 Welsh councils had implemented the policy and 8 were considering a ban or in the process of doing so.

        Come and listen to how ASH Wales and their youth ambassadors are changing behaviour locally and extending their smokefree spaces campaign to outside schools, sports fields and beaches.
