The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), has developed an article about their project evaluating casino dealers and their exposure to secondhand smoke. They conducted a Health Hazard Evaluation (HHE) at several casinos in Las Vegas and found secondhand smoke components in the urine of non-smoking casino dealers, as well as other health effects. NIOSH has already published a blog about this project, which you can access at: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/blog/nsb061609_casino.html. The original HHE report is located at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/hhe/reports/pdfs/2005-0201-3080.pdf.
