Clean Air Now
.
This small chapter is basically only interesting for Dutch folk.
In order to make bars, pubs and restaurants smoke free in the Netherlands a citizen's initiative has started to collect as many signatures as possible and to hand them over to Parliament in order to get it on the agenda and for the government to review the existing 'gentlemen's agreement' that the regulation would come from the sector itself.
Creating a smoke free corner isn't possible since smoke doesn't read signs and a strong lobby from the tobacco industry has installed fears that revenue will fall drastically if smoking is going to banned completely. Needless to say the figures from Ireland, Norway and Italy show a different outcome.
We need 40.000 signatures, so if you are in favour of a smoke free environment then please go to the following website and sign up !!!!!

It's not what this country can do for you (to make it more enjoyable) but what you can do for your country... Hmmm, sounds sort of familiar.

I am kind of agreeing with you. Couse it would be nice if asthmatic people could enjoy a meal in a restaurant without any problem. But what about coffeeshops (Dutch type). People just get there to smoke. Would be weird a coffeshop where you cann't smoke. I just think there should be some exceptions.
