Totally Crazy, mon! Why can't you have smoking clubs?

So because of the smoking ban in the Netherlands people will only be able to smoke joints with no tobacco in?
That's crazy.
Cannabis smoke can give you cancer too, can't it?

The only answer is to allow voluntary smokers clubs where the staff are smokers or agree to accept on some level the undoubted serious damage caused by the smoke from both tobacco and cannabis. Or have air filters.

That's what I think about the ban on tobacco smoking too. I am all in favour of it for all public buildings and all public places.
But I simply cannot see why there shouldn't some scope for limited voluntary private smoking clubs where the staff - if there is a need for staff - are willing to accept being polluted and poisoned to some degree. Once again there could be a role for air filters.

It's a freedom issue surely?
