Second-hand smoking is unhealthy, and people shouldn't be forced to deal with that.
Everybody has the right for clean air in public places.
Most of Europe already has this banned. Smoking in somewhere where non-smokers wish to eat is disrespectful to them.
It is a matter of public health; I live in Vienna; and Austria is by far the European backmarker on introducing EU-wide regulations on smoking in public places.
Many studies already show the benefits of such laws in other countries, where it was implemented. Austria is shooting itself in the foot by prolonging the smoking everywhere. The burden on social security will continue to increase and citizens will suffer from the medical consequences of smoking. Be smart! Ban smoking in public spaces.
I would visit more restaurants in the city if they did not have smoking inside where you eat.
