Now in Europe comes the prohibition laws...
All the mess created in the US by some people 100 years ago starts to create a real trouble in european societyes....
Ok, smoking is not good for health...We all know this.But in France, we don't have the right to grow our own tabacco!!
The seeds are forbidden!!and my grandgrandmother used to grow tobacco and she was very happy to do this, and she maybe couldnt guess that a simple plant could be purchased...
In france, in small villages, the time for the coffee with the first cigarette of the day , in a warm place, close to the barman, the coffeemachine, the radio is FINISH because of the stupidity of some extremists...EVERYBODY in France wants to have the right to smoke in his own place!And for all those who bought a license to sell tobacco!!they sell a substance that is forbidden to use in their place, even if they would permit it ; that is pure fascism, i'm sorry.
Remember the time of simone veil!!Even if she was a big smoker, she reduced by herself and tried to make an acceptable law...And maybe Roselyne bachelot should follow the advice of André Santini..
Let's talk now about coffeeshop, which are essential on the balance of criminality in netherlands...Other countries (France in First line) wants to close them, even if there are 2millions of french who smokes hash or marijuana and who buy drugs in 'supermarkets' where you find everything, from weapons to poisons....hypocrisie; who does it serve?
Criminality is helped by black market.
In the dutch way, people do as if they have nothing to hide.
Of course, globalisation and internatiuonalisation made the thing more difficult, but the idea of civilization stands on the basis of education and if we want to build europe, it's good to look at all the particularities of all countries before forbidding anything in the name of 'sanitation'...
