Smokers are generally looked down upon, and with smoking bans and sin taxes, there are increasingly fewer areas for smokers to light a cigarette and socialize.

A temporary ban on smoking in Detroit casino floors was implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic from the Michigan Gaming Board. Because smokers needed to remove their mask to smoke, the ban was set when casinos reopened around July 4, until further notice.

Although it’s still not allowed on the casino floor, starting Wednesday, MGM Grand Detroit will allow indoor smoking again in designated areas.

“Smoking Slots East and Smoking Slots West” are the only permitted smoking areas in the casino, according to a news release.
