However, the House of Representatives wants the cabinet to look into such a smoking ban. A motion by the Christian parties SGP, CDA and ChristenUnie received support from a majority of the House of Representatives. Grapperhaus is “happy” with the motion.
“I would very much like to get started with this point from the House,” he said on Friday. He does acknowledge that it will be “difficult.” The smoking ban was not introduced this week because, according to lawyers, it is contrary to the tolerance policy.
The possession and use of alcohol has been prohibited in public spaces since this week between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. This should prevent people from drinking together on the street. The SGP does not find it easy to explain that there will be a ban on drinking alcohol in public places, but not for soft drugs.
