For many years, a ban on public playgrounds. In Munich, however, is almost unknown – even within the municipal administration. Probably that’s why it is not controlled at all.

Munich – a Lot of hands with a yellow paper in the citizens ‘ Assembly in Neuhausen-Nymphenburg. They are a sign of approval to the request of a citizen, which calls for a city-wide ban on Smoking in playgrounds. What, on this evening, no one knows that such A Smoking ban is already in place. Particularly amazing is that even on the request of the city, first of all, the introduction of such a prohibition is, as yet, failed. It was only until 2010, because for eight years, Smoking is prohibited on public playgrounds.

May not damaged, according to the statutes of other users, harassed or threatened. After a separate evaluation of the Department of health and environment in the year 2007, the risk was rather low. Therefore, it concluded: “A ban on Smoking Outdoors on the grounds of the health hazard is not likely to withstand legal Review.”

Since then has changed the situation, however: in 2010, a new Covenant was enacted wide law on health protection law, and thus there is a Smoking ban on all of a total of 750 public playgrounds in Munich. For private playgrounds, for example, in inner courtyards, this need not apply. There, this Dumanbet is governed by the respective rules of the house.
