Setting up smoking lounges in casinos is not contrary to the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) suggestion of building a smoke-free environment, Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture Alexis Tam Chon Weng said yesterday.
Tam made the remarks on the sidelines of the opening ceremony of the Gaming Employees Home’s new service centre located in the underground walkway connecting Praça de Lotus Dourado and Macau Fisherman’s Wharf Convention & Exhibition Centre.
The Gaming Employees Home is a group providing casino workers with a range of support services such as counselling.
