Tobacco ban wafts into Amsterdam pot shops
“Tobacco ban wafts into Amsterdam pot shops -- but joints still legal” is an informative newspaper article written in USA TODAY, by Jeffery Stinson. He wrote his main idea around that fact that you can still smoke a joint inside a coffee shop in Amsterdam but you had to go outside to smoke a cigarette. The intended auidence would include people who think all smoke is bad for you along with smokers who did not know about the ban. “The new law prohibits smoking in bars, cafes, restaurants and clubs to protect people from secondhand tobacco smoke” and "Under our system, these are two different things," these are both claims to support the evidence. “Amsterdam has 236 of the country's 720 coffee shops, says Mark Jacobsen, chairman of the Amsterdam Union of Coffee Shops.” This shows evidence of field study about the claim given. The article is broken up into single lines broken up by spaces to break up many major points that the author has listed.

HAHAH wow this is really interesting and I wish I would have thought of something like this to write my paper on. I have never been into reading much of the news but with this assignment it has really opened my eyes to what is happening in the world.
