I've been to Riverboat casinos in IL and IN, and as a smoker, found the density of cigarette and cigar smoke to be intolerable.
I quit tobacco 3 years ago, but am still addicted to nicotine though at a much lower level than what I was getting from cigarettes. I vape these days.
So, while I still get the bad effects of nicotine, which is the least dangerous part of tobacco, I avoid all the tars, heavy metals, MAOIs, and the crap the tobacco cos add to cig tobacco. I also, at least for now, since the gov't has passed new laws, lobbied for by Big Tobacco and Big Pharma, aimed at taxing and restricting vaping out of existence because it has cut so drastically in both businesses profits, save quite a bit of money.
Unlike Suz and LMS, I loathe the smell of tobacco smoke. And, not only do I no longer cough; Squeaky only rarely coughs since I quit smoking.
