Tobacco fine
Dutch police fined a man for smoking cannabis – because his cigarette contained tobacco.
Holland introduced a smoking ban in restaurants and cafes in July, meaning although the public can still smoke cannabis in establishments, smoking tobacco is prohibited.
An Amsterdam police spokesman said: “For logic it is sometimes impossible to explain, even to the Dutch. The man was not fined for smoking a cannabis joint but for smoking. You can smoke cannabis but not tobacco in coffee shops.” The 27-year-old man owns a coffee shop in the city and was fined after he was caught rolling a cigarette with tobacco and cannabis during a routine police check.
He is expected to contest the charge in court.
