Allow smoking during carnival, says MP
The ban on smoking in cafes and bars should be lifted during the carnival festivities, Liberal (VVD) MP Halbe Zijlstra is reported as saying by Trouw.
Many local laws on drinking and bar opening hours are suspended during the annual carnival celebrations in February and lifting the smoking ban temporarily would benefit owners, Zijlstra said in a letter to health minister Ab Klink.
