Tobacco: Smoking ban is all Greek
1 July 20091 Ta Nea Athens
Nikoletta Moutousi is a journalist at Greek daily Ta Nea.
In Greece, which has the highest rate of tobacco consumption in Europe, a law banning smoking in public buildings officially comes into force July 1st. The ban is a subject of controversy — all the more so because the Ministry of Health has yet to publish a decree on the venues concerned and the conditions under which the law will be applied.
