Atlantic City voting on casino smoke ban
December 28, 2006
ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey --
As reported by the Associated Press: "The cigarette smoke that wafts
through Atlantic City's casinos may disappear within weeks, depending on a
city council vote scheduled for Friday.
"The council in the resort city was to vote on banning smoking on the
floors of the gambling halls -- the only indoor public places in the state
where smoking is allowed.
"...Casino critics, anti-smoking groups and casino employees have protested
the loophole, arguing that casino workers are the only employees now
confronted with secondhand smoke in the workplace..."
Good luck!!!
