Also, a carton of cigarettes is very expensive here now...around $60 at least.

Here the smoke in some of the casinos is so thick you could cut it with a knife. The reason is they're on Indian land and not subject to state or local ordinances. They pretty much do as they wish, so I pretty much stay away from them.

Emphysema and lung cancer are expensive in more ways than one.

Harrahs is not an indian casino and they have them everywhere!

All four of ours locally are indian casinos. They are not smoke free but one of them is alcohol free.

No smoking in Maryland casinos. But two of the largest ones have high incidents of crime.

they tax cigarettes and booze a lot in maryland.......so they are around $65 a carton, but much less in delaware. my s/o smokes and he has said it doesnt matter to a smoker how much you charge because they will ALWAYS buy at any price.

That's unbelievable. I quit smoking in 1985, because I thought they were too expensive at $9.90 a carton. I started when I was in the USAF

and they were $1.50 a carton.
