Are you nattily atti(e)red? Mon, 09 Jun 2008 10:43:18 -0700

When is a casino a cigar bar and therefore immune to the state's anti-smoking law?

When a convenience store in the back of the casino sells $300,000 in tobacco products each year?

Two Colorado casinos are telling patrons to light up thanks to a loophole in the law.

Bronco Billy's Casino in Cripple Creek began allowing smoking in about 25 percent of its space on Monday.
Mark Murphy, a partner in the casino, said Bronco Billy's has met the minimum sales figures for tobacco to qualify for the exemption.

Stephanie Steinberg of Smoke-Free Gaming of Colorado scoffed at the claim, saying Bronco Billy's has always operated as a casino never as a cigar bar.

The Wild Card Casino in Black Hawk has also claimed an exemption from the smoking ban as a cigar bar.
