One more way of struggle against smoking

Smoking in coffee-shops in Rosendale is still authorised, therefore in local institutions atmosphere absolutely other. Unlike coffee-shops Bergen-op-Zoma, these cafes look not as points of sale of drugs, but is faster as meeting place and rest. In the noisy filled with smoke premise it is difficult to notice the person who hasty makes the way to "menu" — a show-window under which samples of different grades of marihuana and hashish lie. Affairs here go slowly and even is a little lazy, visitors are weakened, and sellers are carefree. After September, 16th they did not think of a life yet, answer reluctantly: «the owner is not known … Perhaps will open here easier bar? Something yes will be …»
The young man of years of twenty five sits at a bar rack. It looks as the average visitor of the most ordinary cafe, but only besides green tea it has ordered to itself(himself) also a jamb with marihuana. I ask:
— How are you doing, the guy?
— Normally, — answers. — here I sit I smoke …
Half an hour back it still was in Belgium, ten minutes ago has descended from a train and here now strikes a match. It makes similar travel far not for the first time. In any sense it is already such tradition — to come on days off to frontier cities of the Netherlands to drink to tea and to smoke a jamb.
— Descended in university in the morning, after employment the train has taken and has arrived here. Today I have decided to visit Rosendal, simply for a change, but usually I go to Maastricht.
Кевин heard about the new initiative of city authorities Rosendala, but they not too excite him.
— What will you do after September, 16th?
He unperturbably shrugs shoulders:
— I will go to Maastricht.
Two already obviously smoked Belgians approach to a bar rack and try to order martini. «We do not sell alcohol», — the seller answers. Girls look surprised and upset — as if alcohol it do not sell for the first time. Nevertheless trips to the Netherlands for the weekend for them habitual business. They know, what quantity of drugs can"be taken without problems through border, and are ready to give a good advice to everyone who requires them. But they consider the local law silly and unreasonable.
— To tell the truth, I not so understand, what for they have passed this law. It is clear that after September, 16th it will be better to nobody. Marihuana it will be equal as much, it becomes simple all it illegal. They will achieve absolutely other results.
Narcotourism growth in other cities becomes one of such results, naturally. The main blow on itself will accept Maastricht, located all in three kilometres from border. In 1992 the European union here has been founded, but Belgians here attracts has more likely begun to smell marihuana. However, local authorities actively search for the decision of a problem of narcotourism: for example, Gert Leers's mayor has suggested to move all coffee-shops for city boundaries. On the one hand, fidelity to the Dutch liberal traditions, with another — Belgians will not break a city order.
