Sorry, but the analogy is only absurd because it is not anything like
casinos and smoking.
The big thing you are missing here is that places of business DO NOT
have the freedom to whatever they please. There are hordes of
regulations they must adhere to. A smoking regulation is no different
than many of the health regulations businesses must already follow.
They are put in place for the public good.

Please explain how a smokers health is put a risk for abstaining in a
non-smoking casino. Oh, and be sure to add just how the employees are
put at risk too.
