Despite Greece's ban on indoor smoking since 2010, it remains common in bars and clubs due to widespread non-compliance and societal attitudes towards smoking.
According to Stathis Papachristou, a public health official, when smokers perceive gaps in enforcement, they are inclined to continue smoking, regardless of regulations.
A health profile revealed that one-fifth of Greece's deaths in 2019 were attributed to tobacco smoking, highlighting the serious health consequences linked to smoking in the country.
Greece's attempt to tighten smoking restrictions in 2019 has not significantly changed smoking behaviors, with over a third of the population still smoking.
