Posted on: Smoking poses tough choices

For the record, I am not a journalist(or a smoker) nor do I have any influence on this story(or any other story). I simply work for the company. I am not labeling anyone anything, only making a general statement about the way I feel about the issue, which is, if you don't like the smoke, you have the option not to patronize the establishment.

If the casino's business is hurting enough because of this, then perhaps it would be in their best interest to ban smoking in their casino. This is not the job of the gov't.

I love how we have someone commenting who immediately ties this to a "liberal" problem. Sounds like a person who wants to pin any negativity he/she can to the left. I bet to them, no matter what side of the argument they are on, this is the fault of democrats and the Obama campaign...

I don't see how this is a left/right issue. If anything I would see this as people being too "conservative" and not letting people practice their LIBERTY (see "being liberal") and be able to do what they are legally allowed to do, smoke.

Casinos are private establishments, and we don't need the gov't telling private businesses what they can and can't allow. I am a non-smoker, but if I don't want to deal with smokers, then I don't go to those establishments.

The government has bigger fish to fry than imposing smoking bans at the will of grumpy people who wish to impose their lifestyle choices on others.
