Macau Business reports that after the period during which casinos were exempt from the blanket ban expires they’ll be able to set aside up to half of the casino floor for smokers. The new rules also state that casino workers will have no right to compensation should they fall ill from second hand smoke as, according to the Health Bureau director Lei Chin Ion, it’s not an “occupational hazard.”
