Percentage of NV Gamblers Who Smoke [brief report]

The brief research summary report "The Percentage of Gamblers Who Smoke A Study of Nevada Casinos and other Gaming Venues" (2006, December) was authored by
Chris A. Pritsos from the Department of Nutrition, University of Nevada, Reno.

"These percentages of gamblers who smoke are very similar to the overall percentage of the U.S. population that smokes (20.9%). The percentage of gamblers who smoke at the small rural casinos is higher, at around 36.5%. This probably reflects the higher percentage of smokers in these communities and the dependence of these casinos on local patronage" (p. 1).
