It won't put them out of business and in fact, it might help. Non-smokers will come in more often and there may even be more of them. The idiots who smoke will be taking breaks to go outside, giving them more opportunity to get away from their losing, reset maybe even with a trip or two to the ATM's, then come back to feed the slots and poker machines all over again. Hopefully once other casinos around the country see this, they too will smarten up.
