Americans also used to find smoking sexy - just a couple of decades ago..

Anyone who supports a smoking ban should support an alcohol ban. Your alcohol DOES affect others health (drunk driving accidents, assaults, poor hygiene due to inebriation)

We have laws against such things and regarding the consumption of alcohol.
And I'm fine with having similar laws for alcohol as for cigarettes.
Just as you can't walk down the street with a open can of alcohol you shouldn't be able to walk down the street with a lit cigarette.
Smoke in your car, or in your house for all I care. Just not near me.


I never saw the big deal about this.

In Amsterdam you can walk around with a big fat splifferoonie and there is a park where you can inject H.

Dutch people seem pretty happy whenever I meet them.

Why are Anglo Saxons so anal about things!


You're not really supposed to smoke the stuff in public there (most places). You're supposed to have it in the specified "coffee shops" or at home. Oh look! A smoking rule!

The area of Amsterdam with the "coffee shops" and red lights is really grubby. They're a bit laid back when it comes to keeping the city looking nice.

Now you're either plain lying or only spent a short time in the Dam. In Oosterbeck, Arnhem and Amsterdam I smoked ganjah in some very nice cafes in decent areas, most of them often nicer, cleaner and less dodgy than Itaewon that's for sure. And no-one blinks an eyelid if you wander around a park or the streets smoking a reeferoo.
