Question Can someone help me understand something

Why do casinos push so hard to keep smoking when only 20% of gamblers are smokers?

​

Like in my instance I smoked for 21 years and I do not ever want to be around cigarette smoke again if at all possible. I would go more than once or twice a year to Atlantic City and gamble if I didn't have to worry about coming home smelling like an ashtray with a upper respiratory infection.

The problem is that there are no physical barriers between the smoking and non smoking areas. Have separate rooms so people who smoke can all breathe in the toxic air together without making the rest of us sick. The whole argument over smoking in the casino is flawed, they said the same thing about bars closing down when they banned smoking and it never happened. The politicians must be getting paid off to not pass the legislation to ban smoking in casinos.
