Residents of Kanawha County will soon have the opportunity to voice their opinions regarding a proposal from a local casino to establish an indoor smoking area, which would be a deviation from the county's existing smoking ban. The Kanawha-Charleston Board of Health has announced a 30-day public comment period following their decision on Thursday.
The proposal comes from the Mardi Gras Casino, which is seeking permission to create a designated smoking area within its premises. This request has sparked discussions about the implications for public health and the potential impact on patrons and employees alike.
Community members are encouraged to participate in the public comment period, allowing them to express their views on the matter. The board aims to gather a wide range of opinions before making a final decision on the casino's request. This initiative reflects the board's commitment to considering community input in health-related decisions that affect the local population.
