Healthy Work Environment Campaign Update

Hello Again. I decided to write about.

So.. after the first week of collecting surveys, I have collected some surveys. The results of the first week, will be known tonight.

I just wanted to add about the attitude. at first 2 or 3 days I have noticed that amount of cigarretes smoked in th eoffice was reduced. this week - on monday it is already like it used to be.
I am not surprised, because I had no expectations, but i feel rather disappointed in the radio community, that choose in a small amount of people, not to make the survey ( i can't be here 24h per day, and keep asking everybody), and dissapointed of keep awaring them that it is hurtful to my health and others in the radio. Well, we are going to se results of the survey how much peole do not like it.

I started also think about the problem of smoking in Greece.
It is not about smoking. It is about the respect to each other. It is like - if smokers does not respect their bodies and health, why they do still disrespect mine? Why do I have to suffer for their problems? Why people free of this disgusting bad habit, need to suffer, and expose to their smoke in a work place? I understand I, and nobody can not tell people what to do.. on the street. but i Strongly agree with baning smoking in a closed place. Is it such a big problem to understand, that is the way the world goes this days?

People around the world are quiting smoking, and the amount of smokers each year is falling down.
why is this happening?

Because it is true that it is causing a lot of damage to human health.

stay tuned for the results of the survey. and for the short history of smoking in the world :)

Thanks Byt

Healthy Work Environment Campaign

Today I have started my Healthy Work Environment Campaign.

I will try to make our radio a smoke Free radio!

I start with a little survey that I will give to all of the people that come to the radio during the week.

They will answer many different questions about the smoking. My mentor said, that democratically, if most of participants will be for making Radio a smoke free.. that will happen. Thumbs up for good Attitude!

Of course Greeks are the only nation in the Europe that does not respect the laws and any restrictions against smoking. I want to see if this can cause any reasons for existing of the basics of the Greek "Crisis" problem.

Day 1. Collecting Surveys.
