Smoking Bans - WAS Jean Scott's Frugal Vegas BLOG - 13 JAN 2...

[Sharon1]

I am a non smoker and 90% of the Video Poker players that I know are
smokers. We all have rights and as long as no one is blowing their smoke in my
direction I don't care what they do. In todays society it seems to me that we are
losing rights everwhere we turn and this is another example of that. We have
far bigger problems to tackle than smoking issues in this country. It is in my
opinion a sad state of affairs at the present time. Let's all make a list of
problems we think are important and put them in order of importance... and
where does this issue fall on the list.
Now go out there and hit some Royals.

Sharon,
I am actually the "L" word, a liberal, who generally believes in a
live and let live attitude. If you're not hurting someone else,
then who cares? In this regard, I believe that Marijuana, sodomy,
euthanasia and other victimless "crimes" should be universally
legalized. However, such is not the case with smoking in a public
or quasi-public place. Second hand smoke does impact the health of
other people (even if it's not blown in their face), by increasing
the risk for lung cancer, COPD, heart disease and other maladies.
Geez, they passed public non-smoking laws in Paris, the epicenter of
the smoking culture, effective 1/1/08. I don't thing the whole
extra-casino world is trying to gratuitously punish smokers. We
just want to reduce the risk of second hand smoke in the face of
mounting medical evidence that it causes disease.
