So miracles do happen then, lets hope that there will be one for Greece soon. I’ve recently spent a month there and I felt very uncomfortable and unpleasant going out because of the cigarette smoke. I found it very difficult – impossible to find a smoke free place to bring my daughter. Cafés and restaurants are all a big astray but what impressed me the most was that even places specially for children, like indoor playgrounds were smoked. Parents will bring their children there to play and will be sitting next to them having a coffee and a smoke!!! Parents still smoke even at home with toddlers playing around. Unacceptable! Don’t be fooled I used to be a smoker and still am, but after having my daughter I went from half a packet to one per day in the garden after dinner. I like to have my dinner in a smoke free environment but I still like a cigarette with a drink even if it means I have to go outside of the bar to have it. Lets hope that eventually the EU will impose the smoke ban to all its members, then the Greeks will have to comply and maybe this will change their attitude towards smoking at home too.
