"No one should have to work in secondhand smoke," casino employee and founder Joseph Hafley told . Doesn't matter if you are like security, (environmental services), bartenders, anything like that. No one should have to deal with breathing that in, in order to make a paycheck."
Hafley added that "85% of Kansans and Missourians do not smoke, but (casinos) cater to the 15% that do, which doesn't make any sense."
Penn Entertainment operates casinos in both states and reacted to the efforts by noting the company's smoke mitigation efforts. "As members of the hospitality industry, we seek to accommodate the needs of both our smoking and non-smoking patrons using state-of-the-art ventilation systems, extremely high ceilings, and through adequate separation of smoking and non-smoking areas," Penn Entertainment Vice President of Public Affairs and Government Relations Jeff Morris said.
