My guess is, no more so than they already have done so -- i.e., some casinos have made some areas non-smoking, and a handful (to my knowledge) have gone completely smoke-free -- I can't imagine if they're chomping at the bit to re-open without sufficient concern about the virus, that it will change their attitude about smoking.
Happily, most poker rooms have gone smoke-free (if you ignore the people immediately next to the poker room who are smoking) -- but unhappily, poker has other problems to deal with now. You can't sit six feet from the other players and handle the chips and cards with gloves and remember to keep those gloves away from your face all the time -- it's just risky business.
Of all the advantages of the electronic poker tables, I was aware of many: faster play, no one can act out of turn or show their cards prematurely, pots are automatically "chopped" without error, no misdeals, no player errors except their own mistakes in betting, and on and on ... but then someone said they thought they were experience less frequent colds due to the lack of need to handle chips and cards, which I added to the list. But with social distancing, even that won't work, unless they can re-wire the systems and have 8-9 players in a game sitting at 4-5 separate tables.

One thought that has passed my mind is -- will casinos (or gov?) use this whole corona virus
pandemic and it's most reputable characteristic of attacking through the respiratory system
as an "excuse" to go smoke-less?
