Unregistered	Tobacco ban wafts into Amsterdam pot shops " Starting next week, you'll still be able to legally smoke a joint in the famously relaxed coffee shops of Amsterdam — but for a cigarette, you'll have to step outside. The new law prohibits smoking in bars, cafes, restaurants and clubs to protect people from secondhand tobacco smoke. It is similar to bans that have swept across Europe since Ireland made pubs smoke-free in 2004, as well as restrictions across the USA. The contradiction here, however, is it extends to coffee shops in the Netherlands that are renowned since 1976 for letting people buy and smoke marijuana or hashish without being arrested."

I think they should just be permitted to put up a separate enclosed area for the customers that smoke (if the want to)...the businesses are losing a lot of customers due to this stupid law...But maybe they just want all the smokers to switch to pot??
