Gambling Addicts Aren't Necessarily Smoking Addicts
I'm the Phil Toomire that Mr. Bouder mentions in this article. Just a couple minor corrections to Mr. Bauder's story. Pala Casino took out their Non-Smoking Room, but has a Non-Smoking "Area" within their casino, which has absolutely no effect on the smoke entering that area When I first contacted Mr. Bauder, I mentioned to him that I'd like to initiate a "Boycott" one day a week against the casinos. Have the Non-Smoking patrons stay away for one day, and see if the Indian Tribes get the message when they start losing money on those days. If they refuse to consider implimenting a Non-Smoking rule, then increase it to more than one day. Sooner or later, they have to get the message. I hope Mr. Bauder's message will wake up the Tribal Nation, and that they'll comply with our California Non-Smoking laws.— January 25, 2012 11:39 a.m.
