After Security Smoking

Update from Jerry UK, October 2022: The new 'Vienna Lounge', reachable after security and before passport control is, it seems the main lounge for most airlines with business class lounge access and is also pay per visit too. Apart from being a really good lounge it has a terrific outdoor smoking area on the terrace overlooking the runway. it is covered in case of rain, has some good outdoor chairs, was cleaned during my visit today and you can take drinks from the lounge outside too. on a pleasant day it was a very pleasant experience!

Update from Michael, February 2022: Generally speaking, all the smoking areas in restaurants are permanently closed due do non-smoking laws in Austria, so travelers have to rely on airport smoking facilities.
