Posters for so-called pouches - nicotine pouches - were placed at a bus stop in Steyr, where schoolchildren also travel. The advertising was heavily criticized on social media. The "Krone" newspaper asked whether such advertising is permitted at all.

"Is that allowed?" asked one user in a Facebook group, referring to the advertising for nicotine pouches at bus stops in the Steyr area. "I don't think that has any place there, they are advertising addictive substances to pupils on their way to school," the local resident continued.
