 How didn't the article compare gambling to smoking cigarettes?
It may finally settle this question: Is gambling Hollywood or tobacco? This effort has largely succeeded, because Vegas is still the dominant image of American gambling, if not the dominant reality. Instead it will opt for small, targeted policies, concentrating on compulsive gambling. In short, it will treat gambling as a tobaccolike vice. Gamblers don't quite accept the cigarette analogy--though commission member Bill Bible, a former chief of the Nevada Gaming Commission, did concede that gambling was like alcohol--but they're happy to sign on to the specific measures. It medicalizes the problem of compulsive gambling, blaming it on psychological abnormality rather than industry machination. So "gambling" disappeared in Las Vegas, and "gaming" has risen in its place.
