I just went to Western Village for dinner, and walking thru the casino was just a sea of smoke and stink. Those poor casino workers. Why isn't smoking banned except in a designated closed off place with high air exchange. It's dreadful!

Went into Atlantis this past Saturday, for an event, and it smelled like an ash tray! Please pass a new law, for ALL of us, but particularly, the employees.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made us all a little more cautious about the air we breathe. Casinos that continue to allow indoor smoking are forcing a double threat upon their employees and guests: exposure to maskless smoking customers and their secondhand smoke.

Smoke-free environments are great for musicians and audiences alike

As someone who has played music in front of other people since I was 16 years old, I’ve relished any moment that I could be onstage expressing myself. Whether it is as a singer, guitarist or drummer - or even as a promoter of shows - I’ve taken those opportunities when the timing seemed right.

As someone who has played music in front of other people since I was 16 years old, I’ve relished any moment that I could be onstage expressing myself. Whether it is as a singer, guitarist or drummer - or even as a promoter of shows - I’ve taken those opportunities when the timing seemed right. In booking shows, smoking in venues was one of the factors I put up with for many years. I’ve never used cigarettes in my life, and the disadvantages of being in spaces where smoking was allowed was acute.
