According to a story from the ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau online (www.abs-cbnnews.com), Netherland bowlers are miffed about the nation's smoking ban. Since it went into effect on July 1st, bowlers are now forced to smoke outside, and many say it's having a negative affect their game.
It's been a month since smoking was prohibited in restaurants, bars and cafes and yet, bowlers who smoke are still angry.
"People throw up, they urinate on the street and yet they ban smoking. I don't understand. It's not fair," bowler Richard Rafulowitz told ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau.
"What's wrong with these people? If I want to kill myself, I'll kill myself," Rafulowitz complained.
Rafulowitz still cannot accept the fact that he can no longer smoke at bowling alleys.
Bowling is one sport where players are allowed to smoke while playing or competing. This, however, is no longer true since the smoking ban was implemented.
