There is a growing debate regarding smoking in gaming establishments. There is merit to both sides of the argument. In the long run, will the clean air attract more non-smokers who currently eschew casinos because of the smoke infestation? Will this amount be enough to offset the smokers who will not return? Are non-smokers more conservative(in general) in gambling. Do smokers have a higher propensity for gambling and alcohol addiction? With all things being equal, based on demographic information, is the expected profit per smoker higher than the non-smoker? I'm not interested in discussion on why smoking should or should not be allowed, but more to the financial impact to the industry if it is banned vs maintaining the status quo.
