I stood in line for four hours. They better give me a Wal-Mart gift card, or something.  - Rodney Booker, Job Fair attendee.

I guess Amsterdam can say good-bye to all the money they make from American tourists.

It'll be fine.

Establishments will not in fact have to be completely smoke-free. Proprietors will be allowed to set up a separate room or glass partition behind which people can smoke, but customers will not be served there to protect staff.
Not quite as good, but I'm sure they'll get that set up ok.

one solution (in the dutch law); Change it to a private club and give everyone who wants to enter a (free) membership ticket. And solve the problem with employees; give them an ownership of the company (1% or so).
Now we can smoke.

I'm sure the coffee shop owners will find a way around it.  I hope they'll find a way around it

It'll be fine. They'll have smoking rooms and a room with a bar selling drinks and weed. You won't be able to get drinks brought over to your table anymore, but even for the laziest of stoners having to walk to the next room to get a drink and/or more weed/papers/lighters etc. isn't too hard.

You can get a vast selection of the highest grade weeds, hashes and skunks over the bar where you are? Wow. Sounds good.

Have you ever been to Amsterdam?

No. I can't. Not at a bar. That doesn't change what I can get where.

I think I am the only person in the US who knew that before this article.

As others have said - not much will change.

They're allowed to have a 'smoking section' within the coffee shops and I doubt very much that the non-smoking customers will outnumber the smokers.
