Alcohol consumption and smoking rates have not declined and are among the highest across the EU. Obesity rates, although still lower than in many other EU countries, are on the rise for both adults and adolescents. Encouragingly, smoking rates among adolescents declined in recent years and Austria is finally catching up with other EU countries in terms of policies for the protection of nonsmokers, for example by introducing a comprehensive smoking ban in restaurants and bars. National Action Plans on Nutrition and Physical Activity were put in place to counter the rise in obesity.
