    No, not any more....
    2 years ago the government put into effect a VERY strong anti-smoking policy:

    NO smoking in public places (including bars and restaurants). No smoking on some beaches (many are following suit).

    And, believe it or not, for the most part (not all...lol), the dutch have complied. This is stronger than California's statutes, and yet within 6 months of enactment, most places were and are now competely smoke-free...

    And, as the saying goes, "you can always tell a dutchman, but you can't tell him much", alot of very vocal countrymen (and women) have joined the cause!!!
