here in holland the government set up a roadmap for banning of smoking in public area's (bars, clubs, trains) and they would ban smoking from the 1st of january 2004, WOULD because they encountered heavy resistance from bar and club owners all over the netherlands. Now the ban for non smoking is only valid in trains and train stations and at work offices (or at least separate non-smoking chambers from the smoking)
they made a deal with the bar and club owners that they seek solutions for better airconditioning or something more effective in the coming years otherwise the ban will also go through here.
