Smokers in the state of Michigan have actually hailed a minor victory with casinos in Michigan still legally allowable to maintain smoking floors. This news comes where many bars and restaurants now have to become smoke free, a move that many other states in the United States have been slowly implementing. Workers at casinos have voiced their negative opinion of the move claiming that they should not have to be exposed to second hand smoke.

Casinos in other states of the United States have attempted to lobby for the smoking ban to be lifted, claiming that it has affected business. The lobbyers for the smoking ban have pointed to the economy as the reason for bad business rather than the smoking ban. A lot more lobbying will ensure after the laws are implemented for either further increasing the smoking ban for the entire casino or for a full smoking ban.
