Michigan House approves smoking ban, but exempts casinos

The Detroit News reports:

he Michigan House voted again this afternoon to ban smoking in workplaces including bars and restaurants -- but carved out an exception for Detroit's three casinos.

Other exemptions, under the House-passed bill, were granted to tobacco shops, cigar bars, Bingo halls and horse tracks.

There was no debate before House members voted 65-39 in favor of the bill

I guess some Michigan politicians aren't into the concept of "equal protection under the law".
