Description: "Revenues at three gaming facilities in Delaware declined significantly after the implementation of a smoke-free law.  The relative magnitudes of losses at the three facilities correspond to the availability of alternative gaming venues in the region, suggesting consumer flight.  Efforts to mitigate revenue losses engendered additional costs, further reducing operating profits"--Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis web site.
