Mo. smoke bans may hit casinos: Jefferies

Voters in St. Charles County will be able to vote on two alternative indoor smoking bans in the Nov. 6 election – one that would continue to allow indoor smoking at cigar bars, tobacco stores and private clubs and another that would allow even more exceptions – while St. Louis County voters will only be voting on a strong indoor smoking ban with almost no exceptions except for private residences, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Jefferies analyst David Katz has said the proposed smoking bans could be potentially detrimental to casino operators Penn National (PENN) and Boyd Gaming (BYD).
