    Smoking to be banned in Amsterdam coffee shops

    politicians, what are they good for anyway..


    Smoking is to be banned in Amsterdam's famous coffee shops where cannabis is sold without fear of prosecution.

    Under a new public smoking ban, coffee shops will still be able to sell joints but customers may have to go outside to smoke them.

    From a US reform list


    "The word I am receiving about this from Fredrick Polak, MD of the
    Netherlands Drug Policy Foundation, Amsterdam is that it may not be as bad
    as it sounds. Coffee shops that have the space may be able to comply by
    simply having a non-smoking area. Sounds like CNN is being, well, a little
    sensational. The Dutch are a very practical people and really don't wish to
    have the folks in the coffee shops forced outside to sidewalk tables -
    which are common there."

              No, actually. The way it looks now is that smoking will be banned in all bars, coffeeshops etc., not for the customers' health, but for the health of the employees. Since an employee does not necessarily come to a coffeeshop to smoke, it will be banned there as well. Not only that, they want to ban it in every part of a bar/club/coffeeshop/whatever, since employees come everywhere.

              Now, you could argue that if someone doesn't want to inhale any second hand smoke, he should not be an idiot and just choose another profession, but apparently the politicians over here feel that because of the odd chance that some moron wants the job without the smoke, it should be banned completely.

                    It's the same here too but for everyone's sake not just the employees. Still sucks.

                      The stupid thing about that is that if people really care about it that much, they always have the option to just go to a non-smoking bar or whatever.

                          Yeah I know the situation....but it will never fly...it's just some
                          stupid idea but will never be executed. Like "rekening rijden"
                          Great idea....but it doesn't fly. 50% of the shops/restaurants/bars
                          will dissapear because no one would go there anymore....that is
                          if anyone at all would obey such idiot law if it would ever come.
                          What will they do.....arrest you when you smoke? LOL

                          Close the places that ignore it....that would cost them so fucking
                          much money that it will never be done. Dutch politics has countless of these idiotic ideas and 99% never make it. It's just
                          published to keep certain health freak groups patient....like Ya
                          See we're busy working on it............We DO listen

                              Don't forget your daughter will get pregnant if she tries it, and your son will shoot his friend. However that would have nothing to do with the fact that you keep a loaded, unlocked handgun in a desk drawer in a house where your kids are left alone.

                                Just think for 1 second how many tourist just visit Holland to get
                                stoned in a coffeeshop.....fuck tulips and cheese....Marijuana is
                                the money maker and they certainly know that. It's not just
                                for a reason why it's legal in Holland.....it makes money tons of it.

                                Coffeeshops pay tax on selling weed. But it's not allowed for them
                                to get tax return on the weed they buy.....since that's still "illegal"
                                hahahaha is that slick or what?

                                    drugs are bad. This is one area the chinks are right about.
                                    Ever notice that pretty much everything added to the Constitution after the original was a mistake.

                                      And what exactly do you care if it is bad or not for other people? Should we close down all McDonalds franchises because their food is not the most healthy in the world?

                                      Who cares if drugs are bad, or if smoking is bad, or if drinking is bad, or if Big Macs are bad. Educate people on the risks, then let them make their own decisions.

                                        Thats what I think... shit if someone wants to use crack, H, or whatever and kill themselves.. fine, we do not need them around anyway.

                                        Make them all legal,let those who want to fuck their lives up do so, as long as they do not effect anyone else.

                                        And if anyone says that by making them legal will do more harm to those who do not use, all I can say is look at all the non-drinkers who are killed by drunk drivers each year.... Yet, alcohol IS legal.
