Smoke! Smoke! Isn’t it a Joke?

Just about every Casino is flooded with cigarette smoke and it’s deadly!  The first thing you notice is that the smoke reaches out and introduces itself when you open the door.  What do you feel when you go in and the thought occurs that now maybe I am a smoker now because I just began smoking a few long smokes myself!

I turn around and there is smoke just smoke everywhere…I look to the left and then to the right and there is smoke.  Smoke is now my good friend and foe! Hee Hee!  Unfortunately, for me and others who have had breathing issues it does not give love back does it!  For example, what does it mean to be exposed to second-hand smoke (Casino) that’s what it means!  Something that takes the pleasure out of enjoying a good fight with the one-arm bandit!  We are no longer groovy toovy now are we?  Irritated and disgruntled is what we are!  Especially, when someone sits by you and lights up cigarette after cigarette just to further make your day and time there enjoyable as “h”.

Forgive me, but I digest and express my personal aversions to suffering in an atmosphere chocking pot, but let’s get serious what harm could cause a person with respiratory problems or other health problems if they do not get enough fresh air:

Too much exposure while pregnant may cause harm to a fetus (e.g., ADHD)

Organistic effects to various organs in the human structure and makeup

Increase in blood pressure (change in blood vessels which might lead to clotting and subsequently a possible stroke due to a clot blocking good air flow or a temperate aneurysm)

Blood flow to legs and skin can be caused by blockage (clots in the veins)

Lung Disease (excessive smoking) as well as exposure to Casino Smoke (heavy smoke) can help speed up exposure and damage to lungs by damaging airways and small air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs

COPD can be aggravated as well as emphesema and chronic bronchitis which might lead to a collapse due to the inability to breath and obtain good oxygen.

Note:  Since cigarette smoke cause lung cancer any Casino should opt out due to the possibility of having an aggravator (situation of excessive smoke) and stimulus that might be a catalyst to a medical condition or situation and which may lead to problem to occur in the Casino as well as a basis for legal mitigation.  So beware there is always someone looking for a meal ticket, easy life and something free!
