Nasty habits

It's LAW!! But the Locals have their ways!! LOL

Clare Davies:
Yes I think there has been a smoking ban in Greece for a couple of years now, but the Greeks don't like to be told what to do and when they can do it. Our Greek friends out there would cause a riot if it was policed in the same way that it is here. As for us we are considerate smokers, may be this will help us to kick the habit once and for all, tried several times but failed!!!

Was that Nikos ( my other half) who told you that then ?? What a lot of nonsense. It is law here in Greece, but ..... Greek laws are not always obeyed ( as you'll know) particularly in Corfu! They are a law unto themselves! And I always say that for every law/rule here, there is another to counteract it!
I think what they're saying is that smoking in enclosed areas is not allowed but as many of the bars etc are quite open ie. sitting outside with maybe only a canopy over you, it is allowed that you smoke there.
The law doesn't affect me - never smoked in my life - but it does make it more pleasant for me when I'm out not to become a passive smoker. Having said that, some of my friends smoke ( including Nikos) and I think its good to be respectful to each other.

Clare Davies:
OK thanks for the comments, a bit of a touchy subject this one !!!!! Think I will get back to happy memories of SS and why we keep going back
