In recent months, party leader Heinz-Christian Strache has called for a curfew for refugees, the interior minister has suggested asylum seekers should be \u201cconcentrated\u201d in certain locations \u2014 evoking memories of the Nazi era, although he insisted he meant \u201cno provocation\u201d \u2014 and two scandals involving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/international\/archive\/2018\/02\/austria-fraternities-jews\/552929\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Nazi-era songbooks in FP\u00d6-linked fraternities<\/a> forced the party to set up a commission to examine its own history.<\/p>\n<p>Yet it is the plan to abandon the smoking ban \u2014 a policy the FP\u00d6 insisted be part of Chancellor Sebastian Kurz\u2019s government program \u2014 that has proved the most effective rallying point so far for opponents of the party. A <a href=\"https:\/\/dontsmoke.at\/subnavi\/impressum\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">petition launched in mid-February<\/a> opposing the government\u2019s plan has garnered more than half-a-million signatures in the space of a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Although resistance to the government move started out as a nonpartisan movement led by doctors and cancer prevention organizations, opposition parties quickly jumped on board, sensing an early opportunity to inflict damage on the coalition of Kurz\u2019s center-right Austrian People\u2019s Party (\u00d6VP) and the FP\u00d6, which took office in December.<\/p>\n<p>For many Austrians, smoking goes hand in hand with a visit to a coffeehouse or restaurant. The country is one of the last holdouts in Western Europe to allow smoking in such venues. Being intricately linked to such a central part of Austrian life (\u201cViennese coffeehouse culture\u201d was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unesco.at\/kultur\/immaterielles-kulturerbe\/oesterreichisches-verzeichnis\/detail\/article\/wiener-kaffeehauskultur\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">added to UNESCO\u2019s list<\/a> of \u201cintangible cultural heritage\u201d in 2011) means the topic has a significance for Austrians that can be hard for outsiders to grasp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Austria, the question of smoking in restaurants can quickly get very emotional,\u201d said Jakob-Moritz Eberl, a researcher on political communication at the University of Vienna. \u201cCoffeehouses have a very specific position in Austrian tradition, and there are very clear positions [on both sides of the issue].\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Coalition condition<\/h3>\n<p>Under current Austrian law, restaurants and bars must provide a no-smoking environment but can also offer separate smoking areas. But in 2015, Austria\u2019s last government \u2014 a grand coalition between the center-left Social Democrats (SP\u00d6) and the \u00d6VP \u2014 passed a complete smoking ban and set it to take effect this May.<\/p>\n<p>The \u00d6VP has defended its change of course as a price it had to pay to get concessions from the FP\u00d6 on other topics \u2014 such as a strongly pro-EU foreign policy. It has refused to bow to pressure to revisit the coalition deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not a point of rational discussion but of political <em>Pakttreue <\/em>[loyalty to an agreement], it is to prove that the coalition contract is valid and unchangeable even if one of the partners has its difficulties with it,\u201d said Markus Keschmann, the \u00d6VP\u2019s former director for marketing and campaigning who now works as an outside consultant.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe only thing we can reach is that the topic will be discussed in the Austrian parliament. That\u2019s all\u201d \u2014 <em>Thomas Szekeres, president of the Vienna Medical Association<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis might be important in the near future when the government has to deal with those reform topics which are important especially for \u00d6VP and Sebastian Kurz, and which probably might be more difficult \u2026 for the FP\u00d6.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For founders of the pro-ban movement, the issue is primarily about public health, not politics. They frame the ban as a way to ensure non-smokers are protected from harm and say it could save lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know in other countries that it helps to improve the health of the population \u2026 you can avoid cancer cases, and smoking is just harmful to the health of the people,\u201d said Thomas Szekeres, president of the Vienna Medical Association.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs doctors we are in favor of the health of the people, and therefore it shouldn\u2019t be a question of a political party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But data suggests many critics of the government\u2019s move are driven at least in part by their opposition to the ruling parties. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.addendum.org\/news\/rauchverbot-volksbegehren\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">analysis from the Austrian news organization Addendum<\/a> found support for the petition has been highest in areas with the lowest vote share for the \u00d6VP and FP\u00d6, and vice versa.<\/p>\n<h3>Damaging debate<\/h3>\n<p>FP\u00d6 politicians and their supporters say dropping the smoking ban is about defending individual freedom and personal responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>At a parliamentary hearing on the issue last week, liberal economist Barbara Kolm, an expert nominated by the FP\u00d6, compared the law to the choice between capitalism and socialism. Citizens have \u201cthe freedom to damage themselves,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Vice Chancellor and FP\u00d6 leader Strache, an avid smoker, has dismissed popular opposition to his plans by saying a 2015 private petition against the smoking ban also garnered some 500,000 signatures. (That claim, however, has been questioned and the original papers signed by supporters of that petition <a href=\"https:\/\/derstandard.at\/2000075368474\/Raucherpetition-von-OeVP-Wien-bei-Umzug-weggeschmissen\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">have disappeared<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Chancellor Kurz, for his part, has tried to stay above the fray. When he has spoken about the issue, he has made clear that it is an FP\u00d6 priority, not a priority of the government as a whole. Several other \u00d6VP politicians, such as former Vice Chancellor and party chairman Reinhold Mitterlehner, have <a href=\"https:\/\/diepresse.com\/home\/innenpolitik\/5377855\/Dont-Smoke_OeVPGranden-unterstuetzen-Rauchverbot\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">come out in support<\/a> of the petition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI very much understand that the majority is committed to an absolute smoking ban \u2014 I myself am a non-smoker,\u201d Kurz <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kleinezeitung.at\/service\/newsticker\/5377433\/Dont-smoke-Kurz-zeigt-Verstaendnis-fuer-RauchGegner\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">told the Kleine Zeitung newspaper<\/a>. But, he added, \u201cmaintaining the current regulations is a coalition condition of the FP\u00d6.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Social Democrat leader and former Chancellor Christian Kern, whose party is freshly back in opposition, said the \u00d6VP\u2019s stance demonstrates its \u201creadiness to put aside all responsibility and reason\u201d to keep the FP\u00d6 happy.<\/p>\n<p>So far, the coalition is staying united. Members of the two parties introduced legislation in parliament at the start of this month to invalidate the planned ban. Last week, they rejected a Social Democrat request for a referendum on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only thing we can reach is that the topic will be discussed in the Austrian parliament. That\u2019s all,\u201d Szekeres said. \u201cBut the more people that sign, the more political pressure is being put on the government \u2026 they\u2019re claiming that [public] opinion is important for them. If that\u2019s the case, they should [rethink] the whole issue and maybe change their minds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/fpo-heinz-christian-strache-austrian-plan-to-drop-smoking-ban-ignites-opposition-to-far-right\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMd3Tz2gX9xSa6CJyaOj2dokBVcrdaT4yY3R3RI7YmL18vCLZZ\"\/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/&gt;Politico&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/h5&gt;_&lt;\/p&gt;[contfnewc]_[contfnewc]_&lt;\/body&gt;&lt;\/html&gt;\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VIENNA \u2014 Who knew lighting up a cigarette in a Viennese coffeehouse could be so political?<\/p>\n<p>The new ..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":68202,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Austrian plan to drop smoking ban ignites opposition to far right - Business News Report<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"VIENNA \u2014 Who knew lighting up a cigarette in a Viennese coffeehouse could be so political?
