Editorial: Want to smoke? Blow it in your own face

Reading your letters in the Las Vegas Sun about smoking in casinos has prompted me to reply to smokers. No matter what casino I enter, I find cigarette butts in the slot machine trays. Even if there is an ashtray handy, they do not use them.

I do, however, notice how smokers always hold their cigarettes ... so the smoke does not go into their own faces. I visit Las Vegas three or more times a year. I plan to continue, but I wish the smokers could learn some manners and show some respect to nonsmokers. I do not want the smoke in my face, either!
