I was basicaly agreeing with you.
On a local note, we had a K of C hall that had bingo games.
They decided to ban smoking.
Gamblers are risk takers, and most are willing to smoke.
So..No one ever came to the games any more. Rather than back down, they simply gave up having bingo games.
Oh ~whew. Ok!
I read your post before I had finished my first cup of coffee.
Well, we all know how gambling on the Net is running wild. A person can get on the Net from home, not get dressed, smoke, drink and gamble to their hearts content.
So, if their local Casino no longer permits smoking, they can always do it from the comfort of their own home. :)
Slight modification, if it's okay with you.

Didn't I hear recently that Congress wants to outlaw on-line gambling?
