I have been living in Vienna for the past four months and the amount of people smoking in general has been shocking and quite sad. The city should be promoting the health of its citizens, which should include discouraging smoking in general and also keep those who choose not to smoke safe from the dangers of breathing in cigarette smoke.
If the fact that you have designated smoking areas is an excuse, they do nothing. Most restaurants I've been in have their non-smoking areas in the back, meaning you have to walk through the smoke, and the threshold between the two areas doesn't prevent the smoke from seeping to the non smoking area.
