Should Casinos be allowed to permit smoking in Iowa?

The Monday, December 1, 2008 edition of The Des Moines Register featured an article titled Illinois Smoking Ban Benefits Clinton Casino. For more on the issue of smoking bans, read Institute Brief: A Smoking Ban in Iowa: By Government Force or Market Forces?

"I play the video games here and a little blackjack, and this is a real nice
facility. I just have a problem with people smoking. ... I have to go out
coughing. My eyes are burning
," said Bob Paasch, a Clinton-area resident and former bar
owner.

Mr. Paasch told the Register that he has called Gov. Chet Culver's office to complain. Is the Governor listening?
