15Smoke-free vehicles(1)

A vehicle in Wales is smoke-free for the purposes of this Chapter if regulations under this section provide for it to be treated as a smoke-free vehicle.

(2)

The regulations may provide for a vehicle to be treated as a smoke-free vehicle only if the Welsh Ministers are satisfied that doing so is likely to contribute towards the promotion of the health of the people of Wales.

(3)

The regulations may, among other things, make provision—

(a)

for the descriptions of vehicles that are to be treated as smoke-free;

(b)

for the circumstances in which vehicles are to be treated as smoke-free (including by reference to the age of any person in the vehicle);

(c)

for vehicles to be treated as smoke-free only in specified areas, or except in specified areas;

(d)

for exemptions.

(4)

The power to make regulations under this section may not be exercised so as to provide for a ship or hovercraft within subsection (5) to be treated as a smoke-free vehicle.

(5)

A ship or hovercraft is within this subsection if regulations could be made in relation to it under section 85 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 (c.21) including that section as applied by any Order in Council under section 1(1)(h) of the Hovercraft Act 1968 (c.59).
