As I non-smoker, I'm personally glad for the smoking bans. My
wife who has asthma enjoyed our recent trip to Florida more than
other trips in the past where we had to contend with the smoke.
When I went to Miami last year I saw a cop smoking on the job
and found it to be very unprofessional. Up here in Southern New
England, they can be fired in some places for even smoking off
the job! Dania does not publish their attendance and handles except
the local papers, so I don't know what their numbers are like.
I can say that it appears Miami's attendance seems down from last
year. I don't have exact figures, but I'm sure it would be easy
enough to look at performances from last year at this time and
compare.
I find it annoying that the indians can get away with allowing
smoking on their reservations by "that tribal land B.S"
i would enjoy my visits to the casinos much more if smoking were
not allowed. I think Miami should at least put a few monitors
in their smoking room. At least those who choose to have a butt
will be able to follow the game.
