Starting yesterday, Holland finally went smoke free as one of the last EU countries to ban smoking indoors. Not only will we welcome this change inside restaurants and bars, but inside shopping malls as well. This will especially make a nice change at the small indoor winkelcentrum near school where folks smoke while walking around, sitting on benches in the middle and in the open cafe in the center. Apparently the infamous coffeeshops are able to work around the ban since it only applies to tobacco, although there are areas of Amsterdam that banned funny little cigarettes a few years back (the above signs were being stolen regularly, so now you can buy your own.)
