Smoking Ban Will Push 63% Of Offline Bingo Players Online

While it may seem laughable, bingo is big business for churches, hospitals, and charitable organizations. And according to a new survey, the smoking ban is going to hurt that business by 63% - effectivle taking a lot of money away from kids and patients who need it badly.

"A new survey, carried out by online gaming company St Minver, asked 3,000 bingo players their thoughts on how July’s new smoking ban will affect their bingo playing habits. Up to two-thirds of all regular bingo players being smokers, the results do not bode well for land-based operators with 63% of the smokers surveyed revealed they would spend more time playing online bingo once the ban is introduced."

I guess you'll adjust when the government forces you to have a microchip too. Make no mistake, this is the first step of many to completely dehumanize us all...

That is not the point bill. Should they be forced to adjust is the real question?

Shouldnt each establishment have the freedom to choose their own policy?

Your statements are probably what the nazi's said about the concentration camps.

This is silly. People will adjust. We all adjusted when smoking was prohibited in work places. People just go outside to smoke. I have lost many friend who died because of smoking and feel in my heart smokers will adjust. I quit smoking many years ago and thought I could never have a cup of coffee or a dring withoust smoking and now I can with no problem. Bingo players will go back to bingo halls
