Casino will create safe haven for smokers

I am confused. Once again we are trying to create the perfect healthy community, while at the same time holding a vote to create a legalized smoking haven (casino). Not only is gambling good for the individual, but now if you gamble and smoke, you have a safe haven.
As far as location, let's close off the rest of Second Avenue, we don't need it. Remember, secondhand smoke kills, except in casinos.
