[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 634086, member: 1233"] MWM, I agree that it can harm you. I just think the laws are not really needed as most people I know would not go into a restaurant or business with smoking unless they are smokers. I think the basic economics would go a lot farther to keeping smoke out of businesses than laws do. Heck, I know a LOT of people who would LOVE to go to the casinos but won't because of the smoke. In my area there are several casinos now discussing becoming smoke free because they are losing business and the crazy restaurant and shop and ticket prices are not making up for that revenue. That was what I meant. I do think smokers should have places they can choose to go to eat inside and smoke, simply because we have not made tobacco illegal. It would be an owner's choice to make the business smoking, they would probably have higher taxes because we have higher taxes on tobacco and it would be a sane way to keep many businesses smoke free, but we are a society that believes in freedom of choice, or so we say. I won't go back to a casino in the forseeable future because of the smoking issue. husband and I were stuck on one side of town and there isn't much over there but a new Hard Rock Casino. I had forgotten how nasty places with smoking smell. It was late morning on a weekday and the entire place had that nasty funk of old smoke. Sad for such a big pretty building. But I understand that not everyone will agree with this, and that is okay. [/QUOTE]
