Maybe Covid is the end of smoking in the casino?

Because cigarette smoking causes you to heavily exhale (blow) smoke into the air and that smoke will contain droplets of saliva.  When you eat, you chew with your mouth closed, except to take bites, and drinking is  basically the same principle as eating.  Nobody is blowing food or beverages out of their mouth.  Mask wearing may be mandatory in the fitness room, but if not, they will arrange it to provide proper social distancing.  Cigarette smoke travels quite a distance,  even indoors. That’s the difference.

 

Sorry, but have to say I have seen many people on cruises and elsewhere who do chew food with their mouths open and do blow food particles into the air.  It is disgusting but happens all too often,😉

It's only that you can smell and see the smoke particles in the air around you.  Can you really smell or see if you are inhaling Corona virus particles from any distance at all?  This whole discussion is founded on a desire to ban smoking because of the threat of spreading Corona virus.  Is anybody else just a wee bit concerned about all of the people who aren't "letting a good disaster go to waste?"  What else do we not like that we can look to ban and blame it on Corona virus without any scientific evidence at all?  There's way too many politicians already thinking up those ways.  Shall we ban Lions Club meetings because of the Corona virus but permit Rotary Meetings because we like them?  You can't have it both ways - let's ban the smelly smoke and blame the ban on unfounded infection rates from second hand smoke, but let's still have our cocktails and banquet style meals because we still like those so that makes them safe.  The hypocrisy is glaring.  And I'm not even a smoker!  I just believe in being honest and not looking to take advantage of a pandemic for my own personal preferences.  If it makes you all feel better that a ban on smoking in the casinos will protect you from getting Covid then go ahead and believe that.  

 

Another nonsensical diatribe.
