Tobacco And Gambling

by Jerry "Jet" Whittaker
March 20, 2006

The tobacco industry has worked to convince the gambling industry to fight against smoke-free environments. The Representatives of the gambling industry with ties to the tobacco industry oppose smoke-free workplaces by claiming that smoke-free environments hurt gambling revenue and by promoting ventilation as a solution to secondhand smoke. With help from the tobacco industry, the gambling industry has become a force of the opposing smoke-free ventilation standards for the hospitality industry. Tobacco industry strategies to mobilize the gambling industry to oppose smoke-free environments are consistent with past strategies to co-opt the hospitality industry and with strategies to influence policy from behind the scenes. The Tobacco control advocates need to be aware of the connections between the tobacco and gambling industries in relation to smoke-free environments and work to expose them to the public and to policy makers. Tobacco may be smoked in several forms, the most common being the cigarette, the cigar, and the pipe. Cigarette smoking is by far the most common. Pipes and cigars are less common, and some stereotype these as exclusively for men. Yet female cigar smokers have always existed and their proportion of the total is increasing. Gambling advertising is the promotion of gambling by casinos, lotteries, bookmakers or other organisations that provide the opportunity to make bets. It is usually conducted through a variety of media or through sponsorship deals, particularly with sporting events or people. Although not as highly regulated as tobacco advertising and alcohol advertising, in many countries there are strict laws about the way in which such services can be marketed. Tobacco, ex alcohol, ex gambling, ex armaments and firearms or ex all these industries. It can easily accommodate other market-driven customized indexes such as indexes covering other regions or excluding other business activities.

Gambling's bad effects may make it, like tobacco:

Like tobacco, gambling promotion can influence vulnerable groups, which Kind believes makes the gambling industry potentially likely to face various types of mega-lawsuits such as ones the tobacco industry settled within the last few years. If challenged in court, Kind postulates that the gambling industry could argue that states should not benefit from such a lawsuit because states have promoted gambling. The counter argument is the gambling industry downplayed the addictive element of gambling when presenting their casino proposals to state legislatures.
