Concerns over plans to restrict use of e-cigarettes

Welsh Government proposals to restrict the use of electronic cigarettes has raised questions by doctors and campaigners.

The idea is one of a raft of health measures put forward in a white paper published today.

As part of the plans, the devices would be banned from enclosed public spaces.
