Health Minister Klink has informed the Dutch parliament that the ban on smoking in cafés from July 1st will not apply to the smoking of marijuana.
The tobacco ban will affect the whole horeca industry. Cafés, restaurants, discotheques, theatres and coffee shops. However as Health Minister Klink said, the ban falls under the tobacco laws and does not apply to tobacco-free products. Like Marijuana.
However, visitors of coffeeshops will have to consume Cannabis without tobacco.
“Staff in these coffeeshops have the same right as workers in other cafés to a tobacco-free working environment”, says Klink
