“The ‘total smoking ban‘ caused a 20 to 40 percent drop in sales in the catering industry after just two months of it coming into effect – and that was before Corona and the useless and quixotic greens. Now a second attack is being made by the EU bureaucracy, which now also wants to ban smoking in outdoor dining areas, as if ‘the death of restaurants based on EU regulations’,” said the liberal defense spokesman NAbg consumers today.Peter Wurm in the first reaction.
It is probably also a joke from a health policy point of view if, on the one hand, the consumption of cannabis should be legalized and, on the other hand, you are no longer allowed to smoke cigarettes, cigars or pipes in the garden, ie out in the open air. . “The impotence of restaurants and consumers should continue, according to the slogan: ‘We will only be happy when we can ban something,’ and Eurolatism does not care if entrepreneurs come to the side of the road,” says Wurm.
The fact that the Eurocrats are not worried about the health of the citizens can be seen simply from the fact that a ban on tobacco products is out of the question, because then the finance ministers would lose billions in tax revenue, explained the consumer protection spokesperson of the FPÖ . .
“In the first place, restaurants were given the freedom to invest in tobacco partitions, then the ‘total ban on smoking’ came and the entrepreneurs were left with high costs of thousands of euros. The alternative was investments in outdoor areas such as outdoor seating and bar gardens, and now there is also the threat of a ban here, which could not be more ridiculous, but will result in unexpected collateral damage. Our volunteers say ‘NO’!’
