I am a "reformed" smoker, but I do find the smell of smoke unpleasant, even outdoors. What annoys me though, is when the rules (and I think there are some!) are openly flaunted. Last year I was in a bar in SS, which was enclosed on all sides, and a customer lit a cig. right next to the "No Smoking" sign. When we pointed to the sign, the response was "this is Greece, who minds?" Of course the bar staff should not allow this, but no action was taken. I felt that an unpleasant scene would ensue if I started protesting, so did nothing. The problem is that the "rules" are not enforced in Greece (and other EU countries) to the extent that they are in the UK.
