Smoking in Greece

Royal decree of 1856, introducing the first ban on smoking in modern Greece. Prohibition was valid only within state buildings and was grounded on the need to prevent accidents.

Smoking in Greece was at the highest rate of tobacco consumption (more than 40%) in the European Union in 2010.[1] In 2014, Greece had the highest rate of smoking in the European Union.[2] According to a survey published by the European Commission Day for World No Tobacco Day in 2017, 37% of Greeks are smokers and only 44% of Greeks have never smoked a cigarette, the smallest percentage in the EU.[2] After Greece, France and Bulgaria have the next largest number of smokers with 36%.[2] At 7%, Sweden had the lowest rate.[2]
