擊中阿姆斯特丹咖啡店的抽煙的禁令
由米克・ Meaney
RINF選擇新聞
在7月2008日生效在星期五的新的荷蘭法律將取締抽煙在所有阿姆斯特丹咖啡店,決定政府。
阿姆斯特丹是熱點為遊人,因為輕鬆的法律允許慢性麻醉毒品的財產,例如大麻。 雖然大麻在荷蘭正式地被取締,消費者在他們的財產允許運載少於5克。
咖啡店所有者相信法律不會影響他們的事務,它適用於煙草,并且大麻可以是熏製純淨的。
“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.

ReplyThat’s absurd. Protect the employees from second-hand smoke? Something tells me that anybody who would work in a coffeehouse is already a smoker. We’re all adults, why should the government tell us what’s best for us, that’s our decision to make.

ReplyThe ban isn’t so bad, they will still be able to sell the stuff and provide an area to smoke it in, something unavaliable in the U.K. I cant see many people getting too stressed out about it after a few smokes!. Amsterdam is still the place to go for good weed, i don’t think this move will deter many people from visiting however i hope this isn’t a small step towards totally outlawing the selling of weed. Hey, there are always the mushrooms!

ReplyThis ban is actually a good thing.. When i was at the Dam every coffe shop you walked into had more second hand smoke from tobacco than from weed. This will make the shops more like vancouver. The only thing is those europeans are gonna have to learn to cure their bud longer and not smoke it with tobacco! Good step for everyones health.

Banning smoking in Dutch coffee shops is like what Martin Sheen said about Col. Kurtz in Apocalypse Now, “bringing someone in for murder charges out here is like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500.”
