NCM spouter RE: smoking in casinos. As usual, follow the money. I don’t smoke, and rerelease drink, but casinos find that those that do generate more money. I just avoid the areas closest to the smoking section. I look at it this way, if people are foolish enough to want to kill themselves by smoking, and pay for the “ privilege “ they are also fooling enough to pour more of their hard earned money into casino coffers, and not walk away when they win a considerable sum. Drinkers and smokers are more likely to make impulsive moves, and put money into a slot, or make impulsive purchases.
