Smoking Bans Just Another Attack on Casinos, Gambling, Freedoms Of course, the result is declining attendance in states banning casino smoking, and new patrons for states that still allow casino smoking.
There are people in the world who realize the arrogance and egocentricity displayed when telling another how to live. These people support every individual's right to choose his own lifestyle. Then there are those who insist they are smarter, better informed, or more in touch with a deity than the rest of the world, and so they wish to make decisions for everyone; they may attempt to disguise their actions under other banners, but the truth is they want to ban behaviors simply because it is not the behavior they follow.
Casinos, and especially online casinos, are often targeted by these would-be dictators. And when not taking away the right to choose to gamble, the fascists would prevent others from enjoying themselves while gambling.
Smoking bans have found their way into law across much of the United States. Antismoking groups have used the argument that secondhand smoke is a workplace safety issue, but that is not the real concern; these people simply don't like smoking, and they have found a tool to force others, in places of private business, to adhere to their code of conduct, taking away the right to choose to smoke.
This method is used frequently by the geniuses who know what's best for the entire population. They can't beat gambling as an issue of personal choice, so they contest gambling as "bad for the children," disregarding science and logic in the case.
Casinos had managed to avoid smoking bans in some states, as tribal casinos usually allowed smoking. Besides, states depend on casino revenue, and a potential drop in that business means much more to greedy politicians than the income of a local bar or restaurant.
But some folks just aren't happy until everyone lives as they do. The American Cancer Association, along with several grass-roots do-gooder groups like Smoke Free Gaming of Colorado, have forced the bans to extend into casinos in states like Illinois and Colorado.
Of course, the result is declining attendance in states banning casino smoking, and new patrons for states that still allow casino smoking.
Just as Larry Flynt was an unlikely standard for the First Amendment, casinos may seem a bit vulgar to be the champions of liberty. Still, casinos are places where traditionally individuals may indulge themselves. Those who seek to instruct others should retreat to church, a place separated from government by that same First Amendment and Constitution. If you don't want to smoke, drink, gamble, eat unhealthy foods, or otherwise exercise your right to choose, don't, but allow others. If it's more than you can bear, go elsewhere.
