Is Smoking A Right For Gamblers?
Is smoking a right in Michigan casinos? Some folks think it is. I believe it is an either or option, with the smart casinos pushing for smoking sections within casinos, think a Smoking Blackjack Lounge, or a section specialy designated for smokers. But that is just my take.
Tribal casinos in Michigan would suffer no such ban, and would draw large numbers of patrons put off by smoking laws affecting Detroit casinos.
Online Casino Advisory has taken the position that smokers deserve the same libertarian rights that gamblers do. Now, news from across the country shows that in a more practical and less philosophical sense, smoking bans have become problematic.
First, the Las Vegas Review-Journal pointed out in a recent editorial the revenue lost to casinos as smoking bans have been imposed. In Illinois, for instance, income is off by better than ten percent since casinos were forced into a no-smoking policy.
