Dutch hospitality sector accelerates smoking ban

AMSTERDAM -- Some 70 percent of Dutch hotels, restaurants and cafes will implement a smoking ban starting Jan. 1, it was announced on Monday. On July 1, 2008, smoking will be prohibited by Dutch law in the entire Dutch hospitality sector. But a spokesman for the Royal Hospitality Association Netherlands (KHN) told reporters on Monday some 70 percent of the Dutch hospitality sector will voluntarily implement the ban from Tuesday.

Smoking at the workplace has been prohibited by Dutch law since January 2006.
