Best Answer
I used to buy cigarettes for my father when I was little.
I have never heard of anyone being prosecuted for such a thing in Greece but some shop owners might refuse if the buyer is a kid. Since you're not a kid though, it is very unlikely that you will have any kind of problem buying cigarettes.
