Read about a proposed ban that would not allow smoking in casinos, restuarants, and bars. However from the comments below it doesn’t look like this will take effect. I am a fan on non-smoking tables and slot machine sections but banning it throughout the whole casino would be a little overboard and could hurt business along the coast.
The author of a proposed law to ban smoking in Mississippi says the Legislature isn’t likely to pass his bill.
The comments from Rep. John Mayo, D-Clarksdale, come Wednesday during a public hearing held by the House Gaming Committee in Biloxi. The committee was in Tunica last week and was scheduled in Vicksburg on Thursday.
When we get more news, we will post it here.
One of the things that bothers me is smelling like cigarettes after going to the casinos. For the most part smokers have been courteous, and I give them their space. Instead of banning smoking, how about a smoking section on the upper floors of the casinos? Kinda stupid having a non smoking section on the upper floor when smoke rises and smoking is on the decline.
