(14,565 posts)That was my world for 24 years. I was always trying to stand away from smokers. But some of my friends smoked. There was only so much I could avoid. Whenever I traveled to visit relatives they would say my clothes smelled of cigarette smoke, no matter how recently washed.
This link describes the situation well:
https://www.ktnv.com/news/coronavirus/should-smoking-remain-when-casinos-reopen#:~:text=The%20Nevada%20Clean%20Indoor%20Air,sports%20book%2C%20etc.).
"The Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act, codified at NRS 202.2483, prohibits smoking and vaping inside most indoor spaces in Nevada. Subsection 3(a) of NRS 202.2483 provides an exemption from the smoking ban for areas inside casinos in which gaming operations take place (gaming floor, poker rooms, race and sports book, etc.). Smoking and vaping are still allowed in these areas; however, a casino operator can designate separate rooms or areas within the establishment as nonsmoking or nonvaping. For example, many casinos now voluntarily offer smoke-free poker rooms.
Areas of casinos that are not in the gaming area are required to be smoke-free and vape-free. These areas include restaurants, bars, shopping malls, retail establishments, concert halls, theaters, convention areas, etc."

No exceptions for casinos here.
I figured it might be different in different places, but this is pretty different!

(11,645 posts)Had that gig for 10 yrs. Stand in one spot and you cant go anywhere for an hour while 7 people sit in a semicircle with a 3 foot radius and fill up ashtrays and blow smoke right at your face. Oh and bonus... they are all losing money they don't have and pissed and they blame you! Wonderful job!
