In Austria, smoking is legal and tobacco is subject to a range of regulations. Cigarettes are regulated under national law and are legally permitted for sale and smoke. They can be purchased in retail outlets and vending machines; however, online purchasing is not permitted. The importation of cigarettes for trade is allowed. Health warnings on cigarette packaging are mandatory, the minimum legal age for purchase is 18 years, and there are legal restrictions on smoking in public places. Cigarettes in Austria are subject to an excise tax value of 24.33% contributing to a total taxation rate of 74.00%.

Despite these regulatory measures, smoking remains a significant public health issue in Austria. In 2024, there were approximately 1.6 million current smokers in the country, representing an adult current smoking prevalence of 20.9%. This prevalence was recorded to be 22% in 2022. Smoking prevalence was slightly higher among males (21.9%) than among females (20%) in 2024. In 2023, the adult daily tobacco smoking prevalence was reported to be 24.6%. In 2021, smoking led to an estimated 8,495 deaths in Austria, including 6,043 deaths among males and 2,452 among females. Overall, smoking resulted in 9.55% of all deaths in the country, including 13.78% of male deaths and 5.44% of female deaths. These figures highlight the substantial health burden associated with cigarette smoking in Austria.
