English: Thank you very much. The introduction of legislation banning smoking in the grounds of hospitals in Wales does have the potential to play a major role in reducing smoking prevalence by denormalising smoking and encouraging smokers to quit, and I believe the same is true for the possibilities of banning smoking in school grounds and park playgrounds, and, indeed, many other places. I hope that we will build on the progress made to date. But, I do believe that if, as a country, we are to make the most of this opportunity, it is very important to ensure that smoking cessation support is readily available within those hospitals for patients who want to quit. We know that several thousand people die from a smoking-related disease in Wales every year, and it causes around one in six of all deaths in people aged 35 and over. So, you know, it really is a major cause of ill health, and we need to prevent this and help our overstretched NHS. Of course, we have COVID-19 now, and we know that smoking is another risk factor for people if they get that condition. So, there's already a strong need to provide smoking cessation support to smokers who are admitted to hospital, providing medical professionals with a golden opportunity to target those smokers who need smoking cessation support the most. I know the research from ASH Wales has shown that there is overwhelming public support for such a measure, with, I think, something like 75 per cent of Welsh adults in support of offering smokers staying in hospital help to stop smoking. In places like Manchester, it's worked very well, of course - there's the CURE project in secondary care treatment. In Canada, known as the Ottawa model for smoking cessation - under that project, all active smokers admitted to secondary care are immediately offered nicotine replacement and other cessation services alongside the treatment that they need, and, also, after discharge. So, I do believe that as part of these measures that we're taking forward, and, hopefully, the progress that we'll make, it's important to consider these possibilities, these approaches, because they are proven to work elsewhere. When people are in hospital, you know, they're obviously readily accessible; it does provide an opportunity and, hopefully, they're amenable to these very important messages.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Mae cyflwyno deddfwriaeth sy'n gwahardd ysmygu ar dir ysbytai yng Nghymru â'r potensial i chwarae rhan bwysig o ran lleihau cyffredinrwydd ysmygu drwy ddadnormaleiddio ysmygu ac annog ysmygwyr i roi'r gorau iddi, a chredaf fod yr un peth yn wir am y posibiliadau o wahardd ysmygu ar dir ysgolion a meysydd chwarae mewn parciau, ac, yn wir, llawer o leoedd eraill. Gobeithio y byddwn yn adeiladu ar y cynnydd a wnaed hyd yma. Ond, rwy'n credu, os ydym ni, fel gwlad, am fanteisio i'r eithaf ar y cyfle hwn, mae'n bwysig iawn sicrhau bod cymorth i roi'r gorau i ysmygu ar gael yn rhwydd yn yr ysbytai hynny i gleifion sydd eisiau rhoi'r gorau iddi. Gwyddom fod miloedd o bobl yn marw o glefyd sy'n gysylltiedig ag ysmygu yng Nghymru bob blwyddyn, ac mae'n achosi tua un o bob chwech o'r holl farwolaethau ymhlith pobl 35 oed a throsodd. Felly, mae'n un o brif achosion afiechyd, ac mae angen i ni atal hyn a helpu ein GIG sydd dan bwysau. Wrth gwrs, nawr mae gennym COVID-19, a gwyddom fod ysmygu'n ffactor risg arall i bobl os cânt y cyflwr hwnnw. Felly, mae angen mawr eisoes i ddarparu cymorth i roi'r gorau i ysmygu i ysmygwyr sy'n cael eu derbyn i'r ysbyty, gan roi cyfle euraidd i weithwyr meddygol proffesiynol dargedu'r ysmygwyr hynny sydd angen y cymorth i roi'r gorau i ysmygu fwyaf. Gwn fod yr ymchwil gan ASH Cymru wedi dangos bod cefnogaeth gyhoeddus ysgubol i fesur o'r fath, gyda, fe gredaf, tua 75 y cant o oedolion yng Nghymru yn cefnogi cynnig cymorth i ysmygwyr sy'n aros yn yr ysbyty i roi'r gorau i ysmygu. Mewn lleoedd fel Manceinion, mae wedi gweithio'n dda iawn, wrth gwrs - dyna ichi brosiect CURE mewn triniaeth gofal eilaidd yng Nghanada, a adnabyddir fel model Ottawa ar gyfer rhoi'r gorau i ysmygu - o dan y prosiect hwnnw, cynigir gwasanaethau disodli nicotin a gwasanaethau rhoi'r gorau i ysmygu eraill ar unwaith ochr yn ochr â'r driniaeth y mae arnynt ei hangen, a hefyd, ar ôl eu rhyddhau. Felly, rwy'n credu, fel rhan o'r mesurau hyn yr ydym yn bwrw ymlaen â hwy, a gobeithio, y cynnydd y byddwn yn ei wneud, mae'n bwysig ystyried y posibiliadau hyn, y dulliau hyn, oherwydd profwyd eu bod yn gweithio mewn mannau eraill. Pan fydd pobl yn yr ysbyty, rydych chi'n gwybod, mae'n amlwg eu bod ar gael yn rhwydd; mae'n rhoi cyfle a, gobeithio, eu bod yn barod i wrando ar y negeseuon pwysig iawn hyn.
