Answer 1

There is actually some research that shows smokers tend to gamble more. And that if they have to take a break from gambling to smoke they are more likely to gamble less because it gives them time to stop and reconsider.

So the casinos believe they make more money from smokers by allowing them to smoke inside than they lose from nonsmokers who aren’t willing to be around indoor smoking.
