Smoking is an unhealthy habit and you would be hard pressed to find anyone who says it’s not. However, there are many thousands of smokers who argue that it is their right to smoke and while this may be true, smoking bans in many public buildings is becoming the norm. This has come to include many casinos and other gambling rooms. The question many French casino owners have to ask themselves is does the ban hurt their business. To answer that question, you have to look at players and their habits.
While not every player in a casino drinks, many do and unfortunately, many of them smoke as well. Some people only smoke while they are drinking alcohol or gambling. This means that if they are not able to smoke in the casino, they will most likely not play there. Many will seek out places that have not banned smoking or simply choose to play online in the privacy of their own homes.
