Liz, you seem to be one of the "nice" polite smokers many of
whom I've met over countless hours of casino gambling. Now, please
tell us if YOU would continue to frequent casinos if they went
smokeless and there was NO place to play where you could continue to
smoke? I would hope so, but I'd like the TRUE opinion of a confirmed
smoker.
I guess you could call me a "Confirmed Smoker" even though I am one of the
rare individual's who smoke purely for "recreation", (I may be opening another
can of worms with my "recreation" terminology. By "recreation" I mean, I only
smoke when I am drinking, and occasionally when I have some cigs around and
I am alone in my car.) When I was in my late teens and early twenties I used
to smoke two! packs of Marlboro red box a day. I have to say that that was
too much smoking!!!!!!!But at the time I had some other nasty vices too, which
I no longer partake in so an occasional cig and drink now and then are OK
with me, In fact in my possesion at this time I have no cigs and I have not
smoked since I went to a party on Sat night. I have the ability to not smoke if I
don't want to and smoke when I want to and one of the times I really, really
like to smoke is when I am gambling. I guess that I would go to a casino if
it was non- smoking only if there were no other options, case in point, at
Harrah's Laughlin there is a section of the casino that is non-smoking and
there are a couple of nickel multistrike VP machines there that I like to play,
they only have .25cent MSVP and up $ in main smoking casino so since I have
lost my ass on multistrike in past but really like it I go play the nickels and
don't smoke, otherwise if they had what I wanted in smoker's paradise i
would be there. I would never smoke around someone who asked me not to, but NO
ONE in any casino has ever asked me not to smoke around them, It must be
because I am so beautiful, hahahahaha.
Anyway, Dan has to get a reality check on his belief's about 2nd hand smoke.
It is bad for those who breathe it, almost as bad as the smoke he inhales
from his own cancer stick. Well I guess that is all I have to say except happy
smoke or smoke-free gambling,
Liz
