Scotland sees broad public support for expanding smoking bans into children’s outdoor spaces. A survey reports that 93% of Scots want smoke-free protections extended to playgrounds and school grounds.
Both outlets link the result to concerns about exposure to second-hand smoke, particularly around children. The Herald Scotland emphasises the call for action in relation to schools and play areas, while the Daily Record focuses on the wider expansion of smoke-free spaces to public outdoor areas. The reporting also highlights advocacy from a smoking-related health organisation urging policymakers to respond to public backing.
