what,no more pflegm eaters! Scorpio; Having a smokers hack or a precursor to emphysema may not always equate to phlegm. Lots of other nasty stuff oozing around down there!

[scorpio2]

yeah,i guess all we can hope for is for them to tax the hell out of smoking.as a medical technician for over 40 years though,i have seen lottsa phlegm,as it's the bodies way of disposing of bacteria out of the lungs,before the slow suffocation begins.

One of my friends and also my Sister who are both RN's have told me many horror stories about that. Just seeing pictures of damaged/destroyed lungs and tissue are NASTY! Nevertheless, thanks for keeping us vice-ridden ones in your thoughts!

I JUST CAME BACK FROM A.C. FRIDAY EVENING. IT IS SO NICE WITH CLEAN AIR IN THE CASINO. JUST WALKING THRU THE CASINO AND DON`T HAVE TO BREATH THE SMOKE IN THE AIR IS A PLEASURE. IT IS ALSO NICE NOT HAVING THE ASHES ALL OVER THE MACHINES AND IN THE COIN TRAYS.

SOME OF MY FAVORITE MACHINES THAT I LIKED TO PLAY WERE IN THE SMOKING SECTION. THEY STILL HAVE THE SMELL OF SMOKE ON THEM. IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO CLEAN THEM TO GET RID OF THAT ODER.
THERE IS ANOTHER SMOKING VOTE ON MONDAY ( 10/27 ) IN CITY COUNCIL.

THE SMOKING BAN DIDN`T PASS IN A.C. CITY COUNCIL.  THE SMOKERS WILL BE ABLE TO LIGHT UP AGAIN ON NOV. 16th. THE NEW VOTE WAS 5-4 TO DELAY THE SMOKING BAN FOR 1 YEAR.

just got back from 7 hr.drive from harrahs,a.c..clean no smoking casinos.machines very tight,cause we got free rooms for a week,so we had to not win.reported two guys smoking at machines,to security,but they were putting 100 dollar bills in and losing,so,not anything done to them.wife says if we don't win next trip,then not worth the free rooms,and we'll drive to mohegan sun,to see if any wins there for us.

Scorpio, did the casinos put a bounty value on smokers IE: If they're spending big or losing alot, they'll look the other way? Thats too cynical for this cat!

[scorpio2]

don't know but the casinos were full that we went to,and the smoking rooms were doing good business.room maids were slamming doors around 8-9 am,one person said they expect it to get worse with economy.
