In Arizona, around 22 casinos are trying to make the air for nonsmokers better. They decided to spend about a half of a million dollars in coming up with something better to filter the air for people who don't smoke. Since 80% of people don't smoke they are finding that people don't want to go gamble as much. Many people expressed that they don't like going home smelling like smoke and we all know how bad second hand smoke is. I know when I've been to a casino it totally smells like smoke. It seems like everyone is smoking in there and you just feel nasty in there and when you leave.

LoViee said: I wonder if nicotine smoke in casinos contributes to why gamblers can become so addicted.  It may be the only place where some gamblers are around cigarette smoke, so it may contribute to their addiction to the gambling atmospehre and casinos....?

I really dont think smoking has anything to do with a gambling addiction. They're both two separate addictions.
