Casinos reek of secondhand smoke
"Indiana's casino workers and customers breathe air containing 14 times more secondhand smoke than the air outside, a Purdue University study has found. The study, released by the Indiana Campaign for Smokefree Air and the Indiana Academy of Family Physicians, comes as the Legislature reconsiders a smoke-free workplace law. A similar bill did not make it to the floor last year. Casinos, bars, and private clubs have lobbied against such a law, arguing it would detract from their business and infringe on their customers' rights. But proponents of the bill say this study and others on secondhand smoke show all employees deserve protection" - The Enquirer
