Anti-smoking in Greece try the third attempt

The Greeks have the anti-smoking lobby just walk into the void

The Greeks have so far not be installed by the militant anti-smokers, smoking bans dropped. The lungs were simply ignored nonsensical programs ( News reported smoking ). Now the anti-smoking lobby tried a third time after 2002 and 2009, to subjugate the Greeks.

14 months or the then Health Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos Greece had tinted full-bodied: "Everyone has to understand it, on 1 July 2009 Greece expresses the cigarette ". However, nothing is happening. The Greeks have ignored the ban simply, although it was threatened with violations punishable by up to 20,000 €.

While trying militant anti-smoking, anti smoking lobby the support of numerous denunciations (called up to 100,000), the Greeks did, however, also on the block waiting for the 21st Century was not intimidated and ignored the smoking ban nearly complete.

Now with a new Antiraucherlobbyistin Marilisa Xenogiannakopoulou is in office as Minister of Health, and she also tried what is required of her, smoking bans, against the will of the people to push through. On 1 September the new smoking ban will come into force, total and brutal than ever before. In virtually all enclosed areas except their own homes Xenogiannakopoulou will ban smoking, the smoking areas that were previously allowed in the workplace, will be abolished.

In addition, all forms of tobacco advertising is banned, ie both posters and promotions for new brands. Only night clubs and casinos should get an eight-month transitional period granted. The Antiraucherlobbyistin threatened with severe measures. For example, the Coast Guard should be advocated in order to monitor the smoking bans in pubs and harbor ferries.

It is estimated that smoking in Greece about 50 percent of the people. The anti-smoking lobby will have a hard time enforcing their zeal for tobacco-free world in Greece. The Greeks are not as submissive as some of Bavaria, which go like whipped, trained and brainless little dog in the rain, wind and snow in front of the premises to smoke. The Greeks can not be simply dropped this nonsense and thus the ban absurd.
