Does anyone know about the recent smoking ban & how does it effect us dirty smokers?
-
Yes, it has had a mixed response in the village, the local businesses are bending the rules.
Most people are doing the right thing and nipping out for a smoke, no one likes a smoker on the adjoining table.
However, in the bars especially, there seem to be some smoking zones in some establishments.
So it's not as strictly enforced, if at all - in fact, as in the UK.
-
Thanks for the info Tony, I understand what your saying. We are smokers but it is important to respect everyone around you.

Yes - you may have guessed none of us lot smoke - but we are understanding!
But it seems to be ok in some bars for the smokers and not as bad for the non-smokers.
All works well!!
Enjoy your holiday!
-
From talking to the locals we got the opinion that for the time being the ban is optional!
-
It's LAW!! But the Locals have their ways!! LOL
-
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.
-
roy and i dont smoke and as he has a bad throat that is made worse by smoke we try to keep away from smokey bars
-
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

Smokers ought to realise they could me made passive drinkers!!!!!!!!!! Think on that
WHAT!!!!!
Don - you been Drinking? makes no sense - try again!! LOL

i think he has been more than passive drinking ; :)
-
Yes Zoe - he has for sure - Mr. Wobbles today!
Never mind, when he's slept it off - he'll put us all right again - I am sure!! LOL

I love Zoe's one liners - very funny :)

Hi
The ban in Greece is not the same as the ban in the UK. If an establishment is under a certain size and totally enclosed - they can choose to be smoking or non smoking, and from what we were told by our greek friend, the majority have gone with smoking, they don't want to lose their Greek customers in the winter.
If it is larger (not too sure on the size), there has to be a non smoking area (this is usually the inside of the Tarverna/bar). At the moment it is not too bad as most people sit outside so everyone (well almost), is happy!!
The problem will be at the end of the season when the nights get chilly!!! Not sure what the Tarvernas will do when it is too cold to eat outside but smoking is not allowed inside!! Knowing the Greeks they will get round it somehow.
Also, at the moment the law is not very well enforced - especially on the islands (chances are they are stricter in Athens). The Greeks have apparently taken on 30 non smoking enforcement officers, to check establishments and to see if they are obeying the law - the only problem with this is the 30 officers cover the whole of Greece!!
Brilliant!!!
-
Gillywoo - you sound like a Dreaded Smoker!!
I hope you remember to look after the non-smokers around you at the tables,
as nothing ruins a meal more quickly than second-hand smoke drifting across while you eat!
In saying that we all know you need that ciggy sometimes!! Just remember us oxygen freaks!! LOL
We found it was pretty much ok in San Stefanos generally, as most people respected each other really well!
Common sense usually rules in the restaurants and Bars!!
When it did get a bit much - it was always our eastern european cousins who went a step too far!! - They all smoke!!
-
Hi Tonyco1
Yes I am what you would call a 'dreaded smoker'!!
However, for once it it lovely to go somewhere ie Greece and not be treated as if we are the scum of the earth!!
It is great to be able to light up after a meal and enjoy a ciggie - even though i know they are bad for you - but this is my choice.
In SS I can smoke outside and, therefore, for once I think non smokers should be more accommodating to smoker's feelings. if they don't like it they can always sit in the non smoking area - which every Tarverna now has!
I do not want to offend non smokers, but at least in Greece there is always a happy medium - unlike in this country!
-
As a life long non-smoker I feel I can comment on this issue with some balance.
I have never smoked and never will but I can not understand the obsession some folk have about the smoke that 'sometimes' drifts across their table, I wonder if the anti-smokers objects as much to the fumes pumped out by cars and buses which to be honest I find far more unpleasant?
Smoking is an established part of Greek Culture and I would hate the Greeks to become the the obsessive anti smokers that the British have become, I like nothing more than the friendly Greek waiter taking my order with a fag in one hand and a pen in the other! Thats when I know I am in Greece and away from the 'Politically Correct' world of Nanny State Britain.
The anti-smoking attitude of many Brits tells us a lot about the anxious, neurotic and selfish nation we have become, the Greek smokers remind me of the people we used to be when common sense prevailed over intolerance.

i am too a smoker, as has been said.....my choice. i always check around the tables next to me and if people still eating then i wait, that again is my choice....as we are allowed to smoke at the table in Corfu, but i have manners.
i too get a bit sick of the smokers being treated like outcasts, i do agree there should be segregated areas in pubs, but making us smoke in the street wasnt really the way forward !!!
Anyway, each to their own, but i can't see Corfu becoming strict on this - thank God !!!!!

I smoked from the age of 11, until i was about 31, then gave up. 16 years on from that 1st smoke-free day in 20 years i will freely admit i hate it these days with a passion.
The advent of smoke free pubs and restaurants in the UK is brilliant! I don't have to breathe in other people's smoke. No longer coming home after a night out reaking of smoke!
So smoking is part of Greek culture...hmmm....knife crime seems to be part of UK culture in recent years, but i wish it wasn't!
as for this romantic vision of a greek waiter taking an order with a tab in the other hand or mouth, i bet you wouldn't be so accomodating if he brought your food to the table at the same time as some ash spilling on your food!
C'mon it's a filthy habit and as for the freedom/liberty stuff it's also my choice to tell you to stop blowing smoke across my 'space' and believe me i will.
Someone earlier said about the UK "making us smoke in the street wasnt really the way forward". Yes it was, brilliant idea!
Bah humbug!
-
I get totally amazed since the UK smoking ban. All the Working Men's (outdated term) clubs and pubs around us have the little "stubbing" boxes fastened to the wall outside their doors. Just who is it who keeps breaking into them and taking all the dogends? In favour of smoking or not this is the pits!
I do have a little video of a table of smokers in the Little Prince last month. All three adults were smokers but smoked in rotation. The designated smoker moving to one seat so the smoke never blew over their table but straight into the faces of those on the next. It is these selfish types who antagonise the rest.
We were in a mixed group of smokers and non-smokers. The non-smokers just walked away to the street totally unbidden. On the other hand Andy7's wife smoked but it didn't affect us as we enjoyed a drink and chat to them. To be honest it made me wish for a large cigar. For the thirtieth month I resisted the temptation.
CONSIDERATION by all is the key!
-
Well done Don for packing in the habit, If only we could all break through the willpower. I am on patches at the moment for work and doing ok but it's in the evening when I come home and have a glass or two, that's the real problem!!
If you respect others and smoke outside then that's great but when it's breezy the smoke drifts in there direction, with out intent of course so what are we to do..... and as a thoughtfull person I do feel horrid about inflicting my drugs on others
I think I will suggest to my husband forget the fag and just get sloshed instead
-
Hi Clairedavis
How true is this. No matter where you sit the smoke always seems to go straight to a non smoker!!
We go out with friends and he is an ex very anti smoker - but no matter where we sit around the table the smoke seems to follow him!! His wife and I spend all evening fanning the smoke - to no avail!!
I never wish to annoy others when out and hope that I do consider non smokers, but there are times when you can forget - but do not intentionally mean to offend.
-
O M G - doesn't this issue raise the temperature!! Bristol Boy talks great sense! I now love going to the Pub and restaurants in the UK!
I can remember as a young boy, getting on an underground tube train smoking car - and nearly dying from lack of oxygen!
Britain used to smoke as much as any country - almost everyone smoked once - now we are more aware and can choose!
I have to disagree on this one Andy7 - Any Greek waiter who comes up with a cigarette drooping ash is simply rude!
I think it's nonsense to say that smoking is part of any countries culture - it's not - it's dirty!
Smokers stink! Sorry - but it's true! Bit like strong Garlic eaters, other smokers won't smell it - the rest do,
unless you are so used to it because of a partner being a smoker!
It is purely marketing and big money by the Tobacco companies, who still make vast fortunes by hooking teenage children on cigarettes, knowing they have created new customers by addiction, in spite of the known risks to health. Both you and I know that is true!
My wife, who smoked from the age of 13, had a heart attack at 42. She was a size 8 who lived on salads, healthy eating and exercise!
So don't expect me or others like us to agree with you on this.
This Heart attack was proved to be caused directly by the carbon monoxide in cigarettes which she - through unlucky genes - was allergic too - as are many people who are walking medical time-bombs but don't know it! This caused her Arteries to be more receptive to coating with cholesterol, and eventually blocking, causing a heart attack. She was told to give up smoking immediately and did so!
She, as a reformed smoker is far worse that me in regard to smoking, especially as she knows exactly what it does to you!
In saying that - we still operate with respect for others, including to the smokers who show contempt for other Diners eating alongside!
However, if it gets too much - they are asked nicely to keep the smoke away!
I totally agree with your comments on the British nanny state, Andy7, I hate the concept as much as you obviously do!
I hate political correctness with a passion - it's killing Britain!
But - back to smoking - It was the Euro-prat's that brought in the smoking ban in the first place and most of Europe who voted for it were the heavy smokers in the first place!
I like you, am a life-long non-smoker! So I feel likewise I have a balanced outlook as my wife used to smoke - so I understand the need!
But I suffer a touch from Ashma and cigarette smoke wafting in my face affects my breathing!
So I like many others do not have an obsession - I am not anxious, neurotic and selfish - I just can't breath properly!
That is my main reason for hating being near a smoker!! I still believe in peoples right to choose, but I don't wish to share a "Fag"!
Is that so wrong? I hate the smell, it cuts my breathing just like the smoke from a house fire would to most people!
However, I very rarely ever say anything as I don't like to spoil anyone's evening - and understand that smokers have as much right as the non smokers! As Sarah (sharris) say's it's simply good manners and consideration we want, not to chuck the smoker out into the street! I try to give the same good manners and consideration back to people! Ask Don - we shared a table as well!
Sorry mate - I am not having a dig at you, you often come across with good points of view, I am not trying to upset you or provoke discussion, I am simply saying how it affects me, and why - so you can understand! - and after reading this I am sure that you and the smokers do!
Bottom line - I really like you smokers - buy usually when you are not smoking in my face! LOL
-
But I suffer a touch from Ashma and cigarette smoke wafting in my face affects my breathing!
That is one hell of a TYPO............. Which ever way you read it.... Correctly or wrongly it has a potency that hammers into this debate... If intended - I owe you a carafe............ If accidental .... You owe me two. LOL
really like you smokers - buy usually when you are not smoking in my face! LOL
I won't even ask what you'll buy smokers!!!!
Apologies Tony can't resist... Jules hasn't posted tonight and as they say "any TYPO is a good TYPO."
Back to being serious and on thread .......... As a 40 a day smoker for nigh on 40 years I never ever lit up in a room where people ate.
-
On Earlies Don - Tired and going to bed now! up in 5 hours - - Ashma is a good'n of course!!
And I know you would not smoke while people eat - (not that you smoke these days),
as you are one of Natures Real Gentlemen! !! (Maybe) !! LOL
Think it's time to change the thread / string / whatever - - - too much heat!!
When I was in Malta on a winter break last Feb, I was astonished just how much Dog Poo was on every street!
Luckily, I rarely ever see that in San Stefanos!
I am a dog owner and always clean up after the dogs if they dared to do it in a street, (rare), but they just leave it to rot in Malta!
The strange thing is - it's the thing we most remember!! LOL

We were discussing this at work today..... Recall Costner - Dances with Wolves? ---- My Native American (PC) name would be Dances Round Dog POO LOL
-
Strange isn't it - some years you have all those stray Dogs - or owned dogs that are allowed to run around the resort and beach - yet it's extremely rare to see any dog poo!
Maybe they do the dawn patrol and clean up when collecting the rubbish!!
Talking of Rubbish - - they seem to collect daily in San Stefanos!
England = 2 weekly collections for wheely bins, which is why black bags must be best (maybe not environmentally),
It takes twice as long to empty wheelie bins, so costs more - to offset that they double collection time which leads to over-stuffed bins and fines! Summer it also = Maggots - millions of them - how is that good?
My local council sticks to black bags - so we don't get this ourselves, but our daughter suffers from the wheelie bin gestapo! I would try to get rid of any councillors who treat residents like cash-cows on this one!!
-
after my HA - which reaches its 10th anniversary next week - I noticed how much more intense flavours in food were,really far better [of course if your not careful this freeing of the taste buds can lead to other problems :-[ ] so it seems to make sense to eat in as smell free environment as possible - after all you wouldnt perform other bodily functions in a restaurant ;) the other point being you need to breathe through your nose while eating and having fumes go up there spoils things a bit.
It's not PC as far as I'm concerned just etuquette...always tickles me the irony of people saying "PC gone mad" about things and then complain about opinions or rudeness,thats life
bye
-
Been a good exchange of views this time, and I can understand how smokers feel put upon,
after all no one likes to be told by the government ''what to do'', but hopefully the smokers out there understand how and why the non-smokers hate the smoke, and bear it in mind.
Tolerence on either side is the key, and I think the 'Majority' of people know and abide by this!
It's always the odd few extremists that cause the problem!
I have to say I didn't really find it too bad this year from my point of view, in San Stefanos!
You seem to be a generally decent lot!! LOL
-
couldnt agree more - if people want to commit a slow suicide because, unfortunately, that is what it is, thats their personal decision...I just find the flavour and eating experience spoiled by tobacco smoke,I mean, ha ha, everyone has to eat but no ones obliged to smoke,speaking from experience it is difficult breaking that habit between finishing a meal and lighting up - although, like some others, I usually waited until I left the restaurant area
-
Oh dear everyone
When I asked a simple question I never thought it would spark such a long debate so I apologise to you all, just incase you were all wondering what planet I was from. So sorry to all if anyone has been affended by any thread that has covered this topic. We are all human and not the same, we have different likes & dislikes or unfortunatley addicts to different things.

Coming home from work tonight , on the bus !!! I had a woman in front who was sneaking a fag. It stunk! Two stops later a young man got on and sat behind breathing his alcohol fumes all over me! With the lady in front it was small wonder they didn't set the bus on fire! All it wanted was a garlic muncher to get on and gas masks would have been the order of the day. Half a mile from town and 2 miles from home I gave up, got off and walked, heaving with every step...
Strangely if you smoke you can't smell it on anyone... If you try to pickle your living body with alcohol in the company of others you can't smell it. Kiss someone who's been eating garlic and POO!!! That is unless you've had it yourself then you can't smell it!!!
Scientists............. Your mission is to stop things smelling............ Problem solved ???
-
Hi Don
What a bloody good idea, you could have just invented something special and make millions.
I bet there are alot of things that we would not rather smell again........ never thought of it like that before
Sorry to here you had a bad experience today, I hope tomorrow will be better!

I'd learn to drive but there is far too much needless pollution.
-
We have never seen thst many people smoking at tables - maybe that was mostly luck.
-
TYPO JULES "THST" - never mind!!! LOL
The reason is you wear sunglasses at night!!
Clare - don't apologise!! A couple of people may have been blowing smoke in this little debate - but it's been friendly blowing smoke!
As was said we are all different with different tolerances!
Don, good job the local wino didn't drop his guts as well!!! - now how do you make that not smell!! (or so you can't smell it) LOL
The buses must be great where you live - no wonder I drive!!!
-
Unfortunately I am not allowed to drive for medical reasons.... If I could I would be Mr Road Rage!!
-
Just to explain for the readers, Don had an accident and his Head put back on - but back to front, so can only go in reverse!
-
Tony, sounds like Don had a slight Ground Hog Day.... They do say things happen in 3's so maybe some advice would be to stay in LOL
I would like to comment on ROAD RAGE but as a female advanced driver who test's drive a luxery car brand for her job I don't think I will start that thread & maybe decline so someone else can do it !!!!
On another note Don added to my thoughts today, I can't think of anything that does'nt smell. Even our H20 here in cheshire smells of lime, if anyone can think of anything let me know?

So you're near neighbours Clare............... I can look out of our windows and see Cheshire... On a bad day we can smell the silage LOL
Road Rage........... I get so hacked off with motorists who can't manage the upkeep of their cars. You wouldn't believe the number who's indicators don't work, especially on side roads !!!

Don I'm sure the farmers must do a smell test first and wait untill it's really ripe & matured for max effect before spreading!!!!

-
Well Clare, you are not alone with the Advanced Drivers Certificate!
I never got my HGV1, but apart from that I am licensed to drive anything on the road.
Lorries, Double Decker buses, Coaches with or without trailers etc, motorcycles and cars!!
I also have a current Licence to drive 3 x different stocks of Trains, which thankfully I do not have to do for a living!
I was once Operations Manager for Secure Parking Heathrow, as a CPC holder, I set up their bus service for them,
this was about 14-15 years ago, and they are now called Purple Parking!
The Boss/owner spent one week in UK and every other week in his Apartment and Yaght in Monte Carlo.
He drove a Bentley Turbo, in fact we used to store luxury vehicles of all types for their owners, & I used to get to drive them!.
I got to drive him to the Airport and then take the Bentley home, swapping it back the following morning!!
The looks of hate I used to get when driving it were unbelievable !!!
I bet you must get that as well!!
Don is licensed to drive a pair of shoes and I think he has missed out by never driving!!
But each to his/her own!!
LOL and Yammas
-
Well done Tony for your accomplishments it sounds like you have been a busy guy over the years, it is a acheivement and a privilege if you can just manage to drive these luxury motors and feel the experience let alone how it must feel to own one. I would'nt like to pay for repairs or up keep though, £5,000 just for a set of our wheels without fitting or VAT.
Yes I really do get some looks usually disgust, onsite at the factory there are 3500 people, about 120 in our quality department and I'm 1 of 2 female inspectors (total) who have this responsibility.
(what a shame I know but someone has too)
Driving a train sounds exciting, not sure about the speed? but lots of buttons!!!
Would'nt like to drive a bus, especially after Dons poor experience the other day. It's put me off public transport, not that I had much confidence anyway.
If Don has no luck with the shoe license he could become another Zola Bud LOL

Oh sorry about that, I'm hopeless with any geography or towns in the UK. Get me in a car in Corfu and I can take you anywhere..........................
Yamas
Clarexxx
-
Me too Clare, love driving in Corfu - but don't think a Bently would like the roads there!! LOL
Never really wanted to own one either, if I win the lotto - but who knows!!
I think in the space of one year I drove just about every model of Luxury or Sports car -
I always volunteered myself for the really expensive ones, when I wasn't in meetings!
I really enjoyed that job - but I was only on a one year contract and that was it -
once the bus service was up and running!
Regarding Trains, I used to teach people to drive them, & also fix them if they went defective in service etc.
I never drove the really fast ones!! I used to facilitate & deliver lots of training, fire, safety etc.
I moved on now, as you do, and now am one of the Managers who deliver Train Operations.
It's a shift-work job as we are open 24/7 all year!!
Back on night shift in just over a week - I'll be gagging for another holiday soon as well!! LOL
-
Just on the North Western edge of the Potteries.... Lovely place! You just don't believe how GREEN it is until you go up to one of the very high spots and look around you! I work on the edge of the City Centre' highest point - can cope with San Stef to Arillas better than bus to work. Look to the East and rolling fields climbing to the Pennines........... To the West and all through the city are Trees evolving into the ancient woodland of the Hanchurch Hills.
Sorry I love the place more than the locals do! Sound like San Stef when put that way :) ;) :D
-
Hi Tony
Our new Bentley with air suspension and sports transmission pack would corner like it's on rails around corfu, I would love to try it.................................
I'm very proud of my job and what opertunity Bentley has given me, We also get to audit our competitors cars aswell (in secret of course) just to see the comparisons and what they are up to.
With 6.75 litre of machine safety and quality is paramount to protect our customers so I'm always training because technology and legislation change all the time, the future it's ongoing
It sounds like you really have a very demanding job in operations as you also provide a service to customers.
I work for one reason, holidays....................... it's what gets me up at 04.30 in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets hope you and your family get away soon
Yamas
Clarexxx
-
04:30 - bad as me!! but why so early?
I recon if I wasn't doing my job - which I love!! - I could suffer doing yours -- sounds great!!
You must have loads of green-eyed people!! LOL
-
Well I often hear that alarm at 04.30 & think ARE YOU MENTAL........................ then I remember Corfu and I get up. I am a team leader so I go early to get everything ready for my team, you know early bird catches the worm & best foot forward!
Yes it does give me a complex to be honest, I never mention to people that we meet or on holiday what I do because envy is a horrid thing and we just want to relax and enjoy everything. Only if they persist in asking and my husband tells them, then I tend to play down the details.
I can't wait to see a Bentley in Corfu, I would go up to the driver and tell him what was wrong with it
can you imaging the look on his face if I held up my Bentley ID badge and told him he had the wrong wheels fitted LOL.............................
Yamas
Clarexxx
-
Where Don Lives - you will find Metro's fitted with Bently wheels!! LOL
Brick-up city!! That's why he won't go for a car!! LOL
-
Much prefer a Bentley than a Bently TYPO TONY LOL!!!
I also hate to admit where I work when on holiday..... It ends up as a right party pooper.... That always makes me suspicious because if folk have nothing to hide what is their problem?
-
They'd be the ones with the Metro's!! LOL
-
Hi Don
Never had a party pooping moment during our holiday that I can remember............... except when you realise your transport is here to take you to the airport...................
The mention of work on holiday sends me over the edge................give me another Ouzo LOL
Yamas

-
CLARE ........You would be surprised how many people who come up and talk about my work.... The trouble/problem/laugh is they don't know what I do for a living! If they do know they tend to get A) shifty B) nervous OR 3) violent or abusive..... What are they hiding?

Hmmm thats interesting,wonder what it could be? cant say I ever want to talk about my job - I spend 50 weeks a year trying not to! hating every minute - not really allowed to anyway, only in general terms- it's not particularly interesting and I cant wait to retire from the thing- ,so theres not much point,but some people do seem to go a bit "off" when I broadly tell them...

Not so secret Dr Evil, as you have already told us previously, boring number crunching would be a good clue I believe!!
This explains why you like to be your alter-ego Dr. Evil - because you get bored!! LOL
anyway - - - How can you number crunch with such a bad memory?

Not so secret Dr Evil, as you have already told us previously, boring number crunching would be a good clue I believe!!
This explains why you like to be your alter-ego Dr. Evil - because you get bored!! LOL

I also know what Don does Clare - so be afraid - be very afraid!! LOL
The number crunching usually comes at the end of the clock cleaning after Ive established what degree of poo there is...but, I've said too much, I dont want a knock on the door from Cuckoo Central Security at 3 am thanks :'(
