From the Globe and Mail:
In a decision heralded as an important victory by anti-smoking advocates, the Federal Court of Appeal has ruled that casino patrons can not accumulate loyalty-program points and redeem them for cigarettes.
Three judges ruled unanimously that two casinos in Niagara Falls, Ont. run by Falls Management Co. shouldn’t allow members of their Players Advantage Club reward program to use their points to buy tobacco products.
Club members at Casino Niagara and Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort earn points when they play slot machines, video poker games, or table games. The points can be redeemed for meals, hotel rooms, store merchandise and — until this ruling — cigarettes.
