Greek law restricts public smoking

A no-smoking sign, reads '' Smoking is forbidden inside the restaurant,'' is displayed at the entrance of a fast food in Athens on Wednesday, July 1, 2009.

It was about time. Greece is not only behind the rest of the EU when it comes to this; it is also behind its neighbours like Albania and Turkey. I can't believe they think they have the right to smoke everywhere; even doctors smoke in their offices. I hope Greece will finally become smoke-free, but somehow I doubt this ban will work.
