Thought I'd give you guys my perspective even if you will hate me for it.
When I have gone to Turning Stone Casino & Resort in Verona, NY, I have to take 2+ showers a day and change my clothes multiple times. Why? I cannot stand the smell of smoke. It makes me gag to no end. I think this ban is a good idea, because from my point of view I should not have to suffer while I gamble. Though 25% of gamblers may smoke, I'm betting only about 10-15% will have a huge problem with this. It is a national trend to end smoking in buildings lately, barring private property, and so this should really be no surprise to many smokers.
I do understand it's a choice that many people have made, however I do not feel because of your choice I should be forced to hold my nose and gag, and reak of cigarette smoke, even though I don't smoke. Smoking rooms are a good idea because it will allow gamblers to smoke while non-smokers don't have to breathe in their fumes.
Just my opinion, keep an open mind!!
