Letter: Smoke-filled casinos anything but drug free

Wednesday, Oct. 23, 1996 | 11:59 a.m.

How many times have nonsmokers been driven off tables and machines out into the fresh air by smokers?

I don't care how rich you are, you have no class if you light up your cigar or cigarette in public. A gentleman does not make others uncomfortable in his presence.

If you say that Silver City failed as a nonsmoking casino, I submit it would have failed as a smokers-only casino. Silver City failed because it lacked the full spectrum of gaming and it wasn't aggressively advertised.
