Vienna wants to tighten youth protection, especially when it comes to nicotine use. As test buyers, young people must mainly seduce tobacco shops, but also the staff in alcohol sales points. These are not the only increased measures that Vienna plans to take in the field of youth protection.
Vienna has quietly and secretly submitted the draft for a new youth protection law for review. If the SPÖ and Neos cannot be convinced of their objections on December 20, the reins will probably be tightened much further in the spring, especially when it comes to nicotine consumption. However, the points of sale must also be ‘awareness’ – by young test buyers on behalf of the Vienna Addiction and Drug Coordination.
