I have visited Reno a couple times this year, and both times the
thing I remember most is that Reno smells like a cigarette. In January I
visited Circus Circus, and spent my time with the kids on the family
level; but the smoke seeped through the floor where the casino was
below, and the place reeked of smoke. It seemed to me it had penetrated
the floor and the walls and the entire building, to where I imagine
they are never going to get the smell out. Circus Circus will always
smell of smoke. The second time I was just passing through, and we
stopped for gas. The gas station also had a casino area and hotel.
This is common in Nevada. However the hall which allowed an easy bypass
was under construction. We had to go around the entire building and
come in the other side to get to the rest rooms, or we could have gone
through the casino, which I didn't do with Tony being with me. However
we did catch a whiff of the cigarette smell coming from the casino.
I
guess Nevada is meant to appeal to a different type of people than I
am. It is because of this that the family theme parks in Reno and Las
Vegas are a bit of a puzzle to me. How do you appeal to families when
you allow everyone to smoke everyplace. It does not make a very health
environment for children.
Second hand smoke can result in lower birth weight, and higher incidence of SIDS. It also can contribute to ear infection, respiratory ailments, coughs and tooth decay in children. It is very bad for children prone to asthma. No matter how the market it, places that allow smoking are not friendly to children.
