Tobacco Villification Has Reached a New Level of Absurdity

The Netherlands government has passed a new law banning smoking indoors. I suppose that, by now, smokers are used to these sorts of laws. But this one has an interesting twist: marijuana smoke is exempt from this legislation! Now, I'm not one to argue for restrictions to be placed on either drug...but this law really drives home the notion society has gone beyond protecting the health of second hand smokers to a simple all-out war on tobacco, never mind the costs and benefits.
