Greece launches smoking ban campaign

摘要

GRC: Greece, one of Europe's heaviest smoking nations, has launched a six-month anti-smoking campaign ahead of a ban outlawing smoking in most public places from July 1st 2009. The new ban should have a big impact in a nation where nearly 45% of the adult population smokes, and where smoking in offices and cafes is seen as both traditional and acceptable.rn"With the drafting of a national action plan against smoking, our country has acquired a targeted and strategic policy for the promotion and safeguarding of public health," said Health Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos.
