Cherokee casino to offer non-smoking space

The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma says its new casino will offer a substantial amount of non-smoking space for gamblers and patrons.

The tribe's casino in Catoosa is undergoing a $125 million expansion. When it's finished, most of the new space will be smoke-free, said Cherokee Nation Enterprises Chief Executive David Stewart.

But don't count on the facility, to be completed by the end of 2008, to go completely smokeless. "Virtually impossible," Stewart tells The Journal Record of that possibility.
