  • 22.11.2011 Most Bars In Marion County Could Be Smoke-free Soon

    A surprise bid by the City-County Council president to pass a stronger smoking cigarettes ban covering bars and bowling alleys -- in the waning days of the Republican majority -- has caught two key groups off guard.Democrats had been making plans to push for an even stronger measure after they take control of the council Jan. 1. No matter who's in charge, their votes are vital for passage of an expanded smoking cigarettes ban in any form, since many Republicans are opposed.And anti-smoking cigarettes advocates called the move by Republicans -- with backing from Mayor Greg Ballard --...

    Forty-seven years have passed since the surgeon general first reported that smoking cigarettes causes lung cancer. Since that time, cigarettes use has greatly declined in Montana and across the nation. Much of this decline is attributed to tobacco-related policy implemented by federal and state governments.Evidence-based policies that decrease the number of youth who start using cheap cigarettes and increase the number of adults who quit using tobacco include: increasing the price of all tobacco products; eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke; and funding comprehensive tobacco-use...

Study Smokes Out Why Casinos See Fewer People

Don’t blame a 3-year-old statewide smoking cigarettes ban for the drop in casino revenue. Blame high gas prices instead.
A study by the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Center for Policy Analysis shows that only 24 percent of Illinois gamblers are avoiding casinos because of the state’s smoking cigarettes ban.That’s compared with 40 percent of gamblers who said they’ve skipped a visit to the casino because of the cost of gasoline, according to the study.

The survey was released Wednesday, just an hour before a measure was to be voted on in the state Senate Executive Committee that would exempt casinos from the state's smoking cigarettes ban.

State Sen. Martin Sandoval, D-Cicero, who is behind the push to allow smoking cigarettes in casinos, he said he disagrees with the survey.

“There has been a negative revenue impact as a result of the impact of the smoking cigarettes ban at the casinos,” Sandoval insisted.

Adjusted gross receipts for casinos in Illinois dropped by 30 percent, from $1.9 billion to $1.3 billion since the smoking cigarettes ban took effect on Jan. 1, 2008, according the Illinois Gaming Board’s 2010 Annual Report.

Tom Swoik, executive director of the Illinois Casino Gaming Association, predicted Sandoval would eventually call the measure for a vote given that casino revenue continues to slide.

Sandoval said he is working to find more support for his proposal to allow smokers to light up in the state's casinos. The measure already has been approved by the state House of Representatives.

The survey about gamblers’ attitudes toward smoking cigarettes was commissioned by the American Lung Association in Illinois, an organization that was instrumental in getting the state’s smoking cigarettes ban put into place. It has been a defender of the smoking cigarettes ban ever since.

The survey questioned 401 people who had visited a casino in the past 12 months. Of those surveyed, only 24 percent, or 96 people, said a smoke-free environment would make them less likely to go to a casino, while 45 percent, or 180 people, said they were more likely to go a casino that does not allow smoking cigarettes.

“Smokers did not constitute a disproportionate percentage of casino gamblers in Illinois. In fact, what we found was that about 20 percent of the casino gamblers report that they are still currently smokers, whereas the prevalence rate in Illinois is about 21 percent. So it simply isn't true that smokers are more likely to gamble at casinos than non-smokers, as often as asserted,” said Clyde Barrow, the professor who conducted the study.

The prevalence rate is how many Illinois resident on the whole smoke.

State Sen. Terry Link, D-Waukegan, chairman of the Senate Gaming Committee, said he’s come out against an exemption for casinos to allow smoking cigarettes. He said he blames the most recent recession for declining gaming revenue.

Casinos in surrounding states that offer hotels, restaurants and other amenities are another reason Illinois casinos are losing business, Link said.

“I think that the casino industry would probably be better off if they started putting signs out saying that they were smoke-free,” Link said. “And I think once the recession goes away … you are going to see a lot more people coming into these types of smoke-free atmosphere.”

Sandoval has until May 31 to get his measure, House Bill 1965, passed.
