(ABC 6 News) — Iowa lawmakers are rolling the dice as they are considering a ban on smoking in casinos.

It is part of a new House bill called the Smoke-Free Air Act aiming to protect people from secondhand smoke.

If passed, casinos would have to kick the habit and go smoke-free. Supporters say workers have the right to a smoke-free work environment.

However, those against the idea argue the bill could harm business and cause a drop in gaming revenue.

The bill now moves forward for debate.
