First Nation casino objects to tough smoking law

Thursday, June 24, 2004  

The Scugog Island First Nation of Ontario says its casino doesn't have to comply with a tough new smoking law.

The law bans smoking except in designated rooms at casinos. The room must be separated from the non-smoking area, according to the law.

The casino has designated smoking and non-smoking areas but they are not isolated. First Nations officials say the law does not apply on the reserve.
