DDF and I were delighted when Charleston finally passed a smoking ban, as we figured it probably added 5 years to our son's lifespan while he works in the service industry.JustJoePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882794348703779345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745824333843276309.post-70702627185575622382011-08-16T06:07:49.430-07:002011-08-16T06:07:49.430-07:00Ah, I see.

Yes, secondhand smoke is bad for the visitors, but orders of magnitude worse for the people who are employed there and have to be on the floor every day.pykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845984235403387118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745824333843276309.post-1310961617199959922011-08-15T06:52:37.136-07:002011-08-15T06:52:37.136-07:00Ahhh, you see, Phoenix and Scottsdale DO have an i...Ahhh, you see, Phoenix and Scottsdale DO have an indoor smoking ban, but TSR is on TRIBAL land, on the reservation, which is no longer Arizona (technically, not even in the US). And addicted gamblers, nearly all of them from my observations, cannot part with their nicotine. <br /><br />In Las Vegas, the newer casinos have formidable air handlers that render the burnt tobacco fumes nearly non-detectable. Once you sit at a video machine or slot or table, and someone next to you IS smoking, most of their smoke goes to the air handlers. But we still ran into one or two obnoxious cigar puffers in various casinos during our 4 days there who would sit 1/2 facing their black jack table, 1/2 facing the aisle, puffing and blowing as much smoke as possible to create the largest fume foot print imaginable - 'Look at me, I'm an a**hole!'. And in the older casinos off the strip, the pervasive odor is still noticeable.JustJoePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882794348703779345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745824333843276309.post-6646970231120635292011-08-15T06:12:32.181-07:002011-08-15T06:12:32.181-07:00I admit to being shocked every time I go someplace...I admit to being shocked every time I go someplace that does not have an indoor smoking ban. If NYC, Dublin, and London can have smoking bans without the world ending, surely Phoenix has no good argument not to have one?pykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845984235403387118noreply@blogger.com
