as one suggestion ...

a visit to the De Pijp area and the Albert Cuyp market could include a visit to Yo-Yo

this coffeeshop is light and airy with high ceilings and in my experience a pleasant visit for everyone, i love it because for me it has a real 60s feel

and imo the apple dessert is one of the best in town

if you like gardens, then a visit to the Hortus Botanicus should be pleasant

and for the smoker a quick visit beforehand to De Overkant Hortus nearby should result in the right mood for losing oneself in gardens

the shop is small but has large glass windows, if it is sunny and the non-smoker doesn't feel like being inside, they can wait outside and still be in eye contact with the smoker inside

then off to the gardens ...

and after the Hortus Botanicus it is only a 10 minute walk to the coffeeshop Het Ballonnetje

this friendly place in a quieter university area is one of my favorites as it has outdoor seating for the non-smoker and a good menu for the smoker

a nice place to relax and have a smoke and a coffee or tea and think about the evening plans
