However, a statement by the supervisory authority (Upper Austria) on anchoring the ban in the green space regulations was negative. A nationwide regulation would be needed, but despite repeated announcements, this has failed due to the coalition’s disagreement. Raml is therefore already appealing to a future federal government to implement a ban.
Criticism of the ÖVP
Criticism comes from the Linz ÖVP. The example of Graz shows that a smoking ban on playgrounds is very possible by means of a local police ordinance. This has already been in place there since 2020, says local councilor Theresa Ganhör.
