Abstract Smoking is probably the largest and most immediate threat to public health. Currently Greece is suffering from an active and passive smoking “epidemic”. With smoking prevalence ranging between 39-57% depending on gender, age, socio-economical status and place of residence, Greece has been classified as having the highest percent of adult smokers amongst all countries in the E.U. Greece’s anti-tobacco legislation most likely plays an important role as stated and proven in this thesis. A large number of laws regarding tobacco use in Greece, if not most of them, are bluntly ignored either by employers, employees, patrons and even the general population. With cotinine levels proving the extent of smoke exposure among preschool children one can conclude that the current status-quo of smoking in Greece is almost criminally affecting not only the adults but also the children’s health. It is imperative that all the loopholes in the existing laws are expunged and a more health-oriented policy is adopted not only by policy makers but also by the Greek population.
