This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking 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.

You will also need to give your full name to start a petition.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
