Do you prefer gaming venues that allow or prohibit smoking?

[DaftDog]

Same here. People and establishments should have their right to choose.

Ridiculous bans become more and more frequent, not just cigarettes. The Soda Ban in NY is the most absurd one i heard so far and it's getting worst and worst.

Sometimes bans are necessary to force the general, and often ignorant, population to open their eyes to the health issues of smoking and over consumption of sugar. Smoking related health issues and obesity (too much soda) are putting pressure on public health resources.

[MMM]

Yes, but where it ends? Do you want your TV to go off after 3 hours per day or getting a fine for not running 3 times a week?
People should have the freedom to live their life - of course as long as they don't hurt others (that's exactly the difference between public smoking ban which makes sense to soda ban, which is insane).

[Parth84]

for me it is I strongly support smoking bans in casinos.

[phil38]

i think people should have choice of both

[FruityJelena]

I am unfortunately a smoker, but I support bans, because I don't want to threaten anybody by my own choice and guilty pleasure
But it's nice to have a separated smoking room.

In many land-based casinos I've visited so far (for example Hippodrome in London, Portomaso in Malta) there are smoking-allowed slot rooms, where you can smoke, have a drink and play slot machines. Vegas is crazy, you can smoke everywhere in casinos, except in the poker rooms. I admit it's great for me, but anyway, I respect separated rooms more.

Here in Serbia you can smoke almost everywhere (even inside the restaurants or cafes) except in malls for example or institutes and public buildings.

PS. I find smoking area on the conferences great place for business and great opportunity to start a chat.

It reminds me a trip I had to Romania many years ago, and they also smoking a lot and almost everywhere I saw ashtrays inside elevators... mmm

In the elevators wow :O
But thinking of the past, when you seat in some older bus in Serbia, you can still see small trays on the seat in front of you. Sounds crazy and hard to imagine, but smoking was allowed even in the buses, long time ago.
Now, sometimes, drivers open their window and smoke xD Wild west!

My dance school is inside a greek centre in sydney and all the old men smoke in the lift. It's gross actually. They can't even wait to get outside.

[edgarf76]

I voted against smoking, I am against it in general.

[TravG]

Most casinos are big enough that they can have a smoking and a non-smoking section in the casino. I am a smoker so of course I want the casinos to allow smoking - "Share the Air" however a non smoking area should be provided. Even as a smoker I cannot stand having smoke in my face or rude smokers who do not even try to keep smoke to themselves. Also if you look around a high limit area in most casinos, you will see a lot of smokers and cigar smokers. Unless it passes as a state law I cannot see many casinos completely banning smoking.

Yeahh that's crazy, I remember few years ago flying in and old airplain dont even remember the company name, where they have ashtrays inside the airplain still black and dusty, evidence of ash from the time they used to smoke on airplains

Lol, maybe that's why they still highlight that "smoking on this flight is not allowed" and keep that sign turned on during the whole flight

[agsgroup]

I voted I strongly support smoking bans in casinos, but I don't have a problem with designated areas (closed doors!)

And a very good ac

[Zara Brown]

although for some people smoking and gambling come together and are associated with relax i dont smoke and visiting gaming clubs always choose no smoking halls.. i think we all should have a choice

[bettingviking]

For sports betting places smoking is a must, nothing beats the feeling of placing a coupon at a land based bookmaker and then grab a beer and a smoke while watching the game.
