Ban Smoking at Tribal Casinos in California
Renegotiate all tribal casino compacts in California to ban indoor smoking.
Why is this important?
Many of us are current and former workers who love our jobs but are worried for our health and the health of our guests (including many senior citizens and families with children).
Cigarette smoke puts all of us at a significantly higher risk for allergies, asthma, heart disease, lung disease, stroke, and cancer. Our communities deserve the same public health protections that apply to non-tribal establishments.
Conventional wisdom in the gaming industry is that a smoking ban would hurt business, but according to the California Department of Public Health, 88% of adults in California do not smoke. A smoking ban will likely be good for business in the long term.
