Ok than, sorry for my overreaction. I think I got a bit carried away with my post. And yes I do agree. Stricter rules and regulations are a good way to handle the sittuation on a global scale, and there are most deffinatly places where smoking should be considered a criminal offense and fines should be handed, no doubt. Especially when children are involved. Even tough we have an age restriction for smoking unfortunatly few shops actually enforce it :-|

No worries. I know from your posting history that you're a level headed person, so it didn't bother me at all.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that, from my limited experience in the UK, the rules there work quite well. With designated areas for smoking outside airports, unable to smoke inside a flat because of all the mandatory smoke detectors, etc. That's a step towards the right direction. I'm sure it's far from perfect in reality, but it's 10x different what I've experienced in countries like Greece.

I taught that Greece had strict rules as a EU country, arent they obliged by those? I mean there are still some "bastions" in the EU that still allow smoking literally anywhere (Czech Republic). My girlfriend (non smoker) went nuts when even in a a high end restaurant there was actually no separate smokers section.
