Do we really believe that if people can't smoke then they won't go to casinos? It might be a good idea if stopping the smoking means that people will stop frittering away their rent money. But what will really happen is that people will pour money into the casino for maybe an hour, and then go outside for smoke, and possibly stop throwing their money away.

I have a mother and you look nothing like her. I'll decide what kind of life I want to lead, how about you butt out?

It looks like you believe in government control of peoples lives, for any old reason........... It's none of your business or mine what people spend their own money on.

I won't. I have the money, smoke my cigars and spend 5-10 thou on any given visit.

"It might be a good idea if stopping the smoking means that people will stop frittering away their rent money."

Your right. The lottery is a much better way to waste that money.

"But what will really happen is that people will pour money into the casino for maybe an hour, and then go outside for smoke, and possibly stop throwing their money away."

REALITY CHECK: I know you're not going to believe this but there is gambling in all 50 states. Not all of it is legal. If you want to preach against gambling, please save it for church.
