What the petition asks
Parents stand outside the school gates smoking and socialising therefor whenever I walk my children in and out of the gates them and myself who is 13 weeks pregnant have to walk through big clouds of 2nd hand smoke and it is disgusting I want it stopped
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
It would be difficult for the Government to act specifically against parents. If you would like Parliament to change the law to make it illegal for anyone to smoke outside a school, you could start a petition asking for that.
