Cardiff is below the national average of 21% of the population who smoke.<br \/>\nTrina Nealon, head of health promotion, said: \u201cHospitals are where people come to get better. Smoking on site exposes our staff, visitors and patients \u2013 including those who are seriously ill \u2013 to poisonous smoke that poses a real risk to their health.\u201d<br \/>\nThe drive is part of a wider Welsh Government target to reduce the smoking rate to 16% by 2020.
