Une nouvelle loi hollandaise qui entre en vigueur en juillet 2008 interdira le tabagisme dans tous les café-restaurants d'Amsterdam, le gouvernement décidé vendredi.
Amsterdam est un point chaud pour des touristes car les lois détendues permettent la possession des drogues molles, telles que le cannabis. Bien que le cannabis soit officiellement interdit dans les Pays Bas, on permet à des des consommateurs de porter moins de 5 grammes en leur possession.
Les propriétaires de café-restaurant croient que les lois n'effectueront pas leurs affaires comme elles s'appliquent au tabac et le cannabis peut être pur smoked.
“Coffee shops will be treated in the same manner as other catering businesses. They will be smoke-free,” Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende told NOS television.
“It would have been wrong to move towards a smoke-free catering industry and then make an exception for coffee shops. People would not have understood that.”
“Employees should not have to work in an environment were they are constantly exposed to the harmful effects of smoking,” Balkenende said after the cabinet’s decision on Friday.
However customers will be allowed to smoke in separate rooms or glass partitions to protect staff from second hand smoke.

Replythis is just wrong, amsterdam is a free place of choice. if people wanna smoke let them smoke. the employees of the establishments knew the situation when they decided to work there. obviously only smokers would want to be around that smokey environment. if u didnt like it and was concerned for your health you wouldnt have applied for the job.

ReplyPeople who go into coffee shops are generally smokers already. If you dont smoke stay the fuck out of the coffee shops and go in a cafe, itss that simple. Your economy will go to shit if this has any effect on cannabis in coffe shops.
