According to recent news reports, casino owners in South Dakota disagree on what the smoking ban will mean for their businesses. Some casino owners are losing customers who like to smoke while playing video lottery machines, and others are not concerned. Reportedly, video lottery revenues in South Dakota are down 20 percent since the expanded smoking ban took effect. In any event, I currently don't approve of gambling any more than I approve of tobacco.
I see also that the Altria Group, in an attempt to silence bad publicity, has been buying domain names that are critical of its business: altriakills.com and altriastinks.org, among others. Is it possible that Altria considers Samantha Dawn Lewis a very dangerous woman, even though she is fictional?
