The Tribal Council decided to keep the non-smoking policy permanent.Ĭherokee Secretary of Public Health and Human Services Vickie Bradley supports a ban on smoking in and around the gaming venues. Some of Harrah's casinos reintroduced indoor smoking once the protocols were no longer in place. The first widespread smoking bans on casino floors began in 2020 during the pandemic. The move is expected to have a positive impact on clientele and help the tribe protect members of the staff, its communities, and visitors to its gaming facilities from smoke. Harrah's Cherokee Casinos have decided to enforce a no smoking policy on their casino floors and indoor facilities.
