Isle of Man residents are being asked for their views on new no smoking regulations.

In February, Tynwald will be asked to approve a move to make it an offence to smoke in private vehicles where children are present. A fixed penalty of up to ?50 could be introduced.

The government says the measures are aimed at protecting young people from the effects of second-hand smoke.
The consultation can be found at www.consultations.gov and the deadline for responses is January 15.
