As reported by Buffalo Business First: "Wednesday is the last day for
smokers to light up at Canadian casinos, then business could light up on
this side of the U.S.-Canada border. "That's what The Seneca Nation of
Indians is hoping for when a smoking ban goes into effect at Canadian gaming
establishments June 1st. "The Seneca Niagara Casino allows smoking as New
York state's smoking ban doesn't apply because the casino is on sovereign
land and run by the Seneca Nation. Seneca Gaming Corp., which operates the
Niagara Falls, N.Y. establishment, is hoping to see a positive impact from
Canada's legislation and gain an edge over the Canadian competition."
