Coffee shops in Netherlands

[Sampler]

A friend in Amsterdam e-mailed me and told me that coffeeshops in the Netherlands are facing shutdowns because by January 1, 2005, the coffeeshops must provide a smoke-free environment for their employees.

Selling would still be possible, but smoking not.The shops are convinced that they would lose too much money this way.

Someone knows something about this ?

Is the Netherlands turning into teh US ?

I did a little more research and found some info that dutch coffeeshops wouldn't let in foreigners anymore
That can't be possible

My mates are just back and had no problems.All you would have to do is speak in a Dutch accent anyway.Just go in and ask for a Shmoke and a shandwich.
