It is unclear if they will remain smoke-free when other restrictions ease and more people become vaccinated.
CNN reports that Brian King of the CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health said during the CDC’s weekly partner call:
“If all these casinos remain smoke-free even post Covid-19, this could have an immeasurable in terms of not only protecting the public who attend these venues, but also workers who are working eight hours or more per day in these environments."
The group Americans for Nonsmoker’s Rights complied a list of smoke-free gaming properties in the U.S.
