“In keeping with the spirit of the state’s nonsmoking law, electronic cigarettes are not permitted,” said Bob Tenenbaum, spokesman for Hollywood Columbus, whose employees are forbidden to smoke at work or even at home, and can be fired for breaking the rule.
E-cigarettes are permitted at the Horseshoe casinos in Cleveland and Cincinnati and the recently opened ThistleDown racino near Cleveland.
“Customer feedback is the reason we allow them,” said Jennifer Kulczycki, spokeswoman for Rock Ohio Caesars, which operates all three.
