Three cheers for the Greeks. Maybe they are letting the EU Fascists deal with their smoking ban now that the Lisbon Bullies are about to take over their country. Obviously the Greek govt have more to worry about than carrying out a witch hunt on smokers unlike our EU lapdog useless shower of a govt. I hate to see the day when the EU will have stamped their footprint on all our national identities and make us all stepford wives. Maybe we should copy the Greeks and take to the streets. We really need a revolution on the streets to make the Bullies sit up and deal with important issues such as unemployment, poverty, suicides etc instead of making big deals of nasty little laws that only further crucify the already struggling people. I guess people will have to feel more pain before that actually happens, but the resentment of the intrusion into our personal lives is growing. Lets have the balls that once made England great instead of channelling it into the suppressed aggression of football mayhem. Glad I've booked my summer hol to Athens.
Drat. I just booked up for Spain before they announced their plans to 'fast track' a complete ban. However, given that it was 70 degrees outside on a night (last August) I think I will survive. As for the Spanish Health Minister who declared that there was no evidence that a total ban would cause economic harm...let's see how much Crow Pie will have to be consumed when everyone nashes off to Greece next year...
Don't be stupid. You see Greece through pink glasses, cos you're there only on holidays. Try living there and you will want to go back to UK as soon as possible. You think their government deals with important issues? Yeah, right. Look at the crisis the country is in. They're just a bunch of lazy assholes. Nothing works there, it's the most disorganised country I've seen.
About the barmen who complains about the second-hand smoke... You say, "look for another job". The fact is, there is no job in Greece where you don't have to breathe second hand smoke... LOL. Bank tellers, shop keepers and even medical staff smoke in your face while serving you. You can't escape from the smoke no matter where you go. I'd like to see how much you'd enjoy that.

Jolly good chaps the Greeks, as long as you don't eat their food of course....
I love greek food.
A whole squid deep fried in light batter .
Fish caught that day.
Then coffee and a ciggy.
Priceless !
I must learn greek.
"long as you don't eat their food "
Actually, most of 'their' food is TURKISH in origin - like their addiction to backgammon.
Ottoman Empire, and all that.
But you won't find a more hospitable people anywhere.
God bless 'em !
PS to Specky:
Personally, I find fried octopus tastier. But - each to his own, I guess............
"The non-smoking barman resents inhaling secondhand nicotine.................."
ONE unhappy barman.
HUNDREDS of happy customers.
And THIS is a problem ?
Sorry, Auntie - I STILL don't get it.
I MUST be thick....................
@Specky
A national treasure in the making.
If the barman does not like inhaling SHS eff off and get another job.
Besides it is not doing you any harm.
Lamb Kleftiko for me ....yum! yum!
If only the people of Britain had the same courage!
