Smokin' Dutch

It turns out that the Netherlands has just banned indoor smoking. Don't worry, though: marijuana is exempted from the ban. Good to see that the Dutch haven't lost their famous pragmatism.

Which brings me to my exit question: why is it that conservatives tend to prefer tobacco and demonize pot, whereas liberals tend to celebrate pot and demonize tobacco?
