Smoking at Twin River Is Shameful

It really bothers me that Twin River is the only public place in the state that you can smoke indoors. Every restaurant and bar has to abide by the law but they don't. The law was modified to allow smoking there. Why? Because of he tax revenue? Would they loose money if it was banned? It didn't effect restaurants and bars. People still go out and eat and drink. What about the health of the people who go there that don't smoke? The employees that are subjected to hours of the smoke and stench that will slowly kill them? I know they have smoke eaters inside. But let me tell you they don't work. I have asked state representatives to look into it. Guess what response I got.... No one is willing to stand up to this legislature and be the voice of change. Shame on you RI for willingly allowing something to happen that is proven to kill people all for the mighty dollar! What do others think?
