Barbecue and smoking ban in Vienna
by admin April 27th, 2007 in Local News
The dry weather got the blame: since yesterday barbecues in forests, or places which are close to forests, are not allowed anymore.
The government of Vienna also imposes a barbebue ban on official public barbecue areas.
A barbecue ban means: no handle with open fire. This means also, smokers have to leave the cigarette lighter in their pocket.
If somebody does not care about it, the fine makes 7.300 EUR. The forestry commission office of Vienna has the job to control the strict obedience.
