The issue of smoking inside Pennsylvania casinos has hit a wall. Progress was made late last year when the Protecting Workers from Secondhand Smoke Act passed through the House Committee. As of now, the bill is sitting on the House floor with no timetable for a vote.

Pennsylvania casinos are one of the only indoor establishments where smoking is allowed.

Allegheny County Democratic Rep. Dan Frankel introduced the non-smoking bill, otherwise known as HB 1657, in September of last year. The bill passed out of the House Committee last November after a 13-11 vote. Since then, there has been no movement.
