Casinos pay off politicians

Well it happened the casinos in Iowa have paid off the politicians (who would have guessed). The smoking ban in Iowa has been passed and goes into effect on July 1st. the only places exempt are Iowas veterans home and of course the casinos. Now the way I understand it this smoking ban is to make healthier environments for Iowans. So if I'm reading this correctly this means that the casinos could care less about our health as long as they get our money before we die and our government don't care about our veterans that made this country free. I mean if the ban is over health issues is this our government saying to our veterans hurry up and die we are done using you. In my eyes this is just another great example of our greedy government thinking of themselves and their pockets and god forbid they repay our veterans for what they did by helping them to live instead of trying to speed up their death. If the government is going to ban cigarette smoking every where shouldn't cigarettes be illegal? Oh that's right the government can't do that they make to much money off the taxes on cigarettes. I think the ban should be the choice of the business owner after all do we not have freedom of choice in this country. I guess that only counts if it makes money for greedy government. From this day on I am boycotting the casinos they are a public place and they should be part of the ban.
