Letter: Tobacco smoke choking life out of Las Vegas

Tuesday, April 15, 2003 | 9:58 a.m.

Last year I visited Las Vegas for the first time, to attend a convention at the Riviera Hotel. I found the city to be a cesspool of tobacco smoke!

From the time I nearly vomited as I passed by the special "Kevorkian" chamber for tobacco addicts in your airport, to the foul-smelling cabs and the poisoned air at the hotel, I can safely say that I will never return to your city until smoking is prohibited in and around these places.

Smoking equals sickness, death and business loss. Only the tobacco people continue to dispute the facts and Las Vegas must be one of their favorite cities!
