Even the lighting of a match in their vicinity will trigger an alarm and loudspeaker message telling them to stop. Now health boards in South Wales have followed suit.
The move comes on National No Smoking Day.
Now cancer based charity Tenovus has announced it would like to see an outright smoking ban in Wales. However, the Welsh Government doesn’t have the authority to put this motion into action.

Pregnant celebrity Mum Stacey Solomon has turned to electronic cigarettes in an attempt to quit her smoking habit.
The winner of reality show I’m A Celebrity and X Factor finalist was recently snapped smoking whilst seven months pregnant.
She was reduced to tears during an interview on This Morning as she explained why she was still smoking.
She said: “At the end of the day, nothing that I can say makes it right. All I can say is that from the day I found out that I was pregnant, I have tried my best to give up. I completely understand why people would be angry, because for some people it’s uncomprehendable. “
The mother-of-one said she had cut back her habit since discovering she was pregnant with her second child but she was finding it difficult to abstain completely. She has now turned to e-cigarettes. The devices do not contain tobacco and normally contain nicotine infused water.
