Smoking ban: Austria's cafe society calls time on cigarettes
 

Austria was once dubbed "the ashtray of Europe" but has finally banned smoking in restaurants, bars and cafes.

The decision came after years of controversy. Austria had been on the verge of bringing in a total ban last year, but the plans were overturned because of pressure from the far-right Freedom Party, which was part of the last government.

But after the fall of the coalition in May, the ban was reintroduced and came into force on 1 November.

Some restaurants and cafes went non-smoking several years ago, but others allowed smoking until the last possible minute.
