Greece to Enforce Total Smoking Ban in Public Places

So if smoking and second hand smoke are deadly, Greeks should be the sickest bunch in the world after the Japanese, shouldn't they? Well, Greeks the second heaviest smokers in the world are the healthiest people in the European Union. Japanese the first biggest smokers in the world have one of the longest life expectancies. Don't take my word for it, google it up. This needs some splaining Lucy!

I can't believe that Greece, which has been in the EU for almost 30 years and is supposed to be a developed country, allows smoking everywhere and lets kids buy cigarettes. I was shocked to hear about dentists smoking while fixing your teeth, ashtrays in waiting rooms, people smoking in banks and supermarkets... That doesn't happen even here in Bosnia, and in Croatia they just passed a law of total smoking ban in all public places.

The constant smell of cigarette smoke is the most unpleasant aspect of an otherwise-beautiful place. In a village I have visited, the local dentist smokes while she cleans your teeth. Many aspects of Greek culture are charming, but this is not one of them.
