Ontario casinos butt out

Even the ones run by First Nations will do so. This is good news as there was probably some fear that the two First Nations casinos would attract customers who preferred to smoke from Provincial casinos. The effect on cross border traffic from Windsor will be interesting, seeing that during the Detroit Superbowl so much attention focused on the strippers, Cuban cigars and gambling so readily available.

Meanwhile a First Nation cigarette manufacturer is going out of business because of smuggling which the RCMP don't seem to have the appetite to deal with firmly. (Although a cigarette firm going out of business isn't usually the kind of thing that bothers me)

In SK, the First Nations casinos haven't complied with requests to follow the provincial smoking ban lead in bars and restaurant. I think it's about time the provinical or federal government got more heavy handed on the issue. If the government can essentially stop First Nations from buying an providing an MRI, they can certainly stop them from smoking, or at least the tourists from doing so.
