Smoking ban in Atlantic City gets longer

Atlantic City´s smoking ban just got a bit longer due to the fact that there aren´t enough congressmen in Jersey to overturn the bill. So the smoking ban will have to remain in effect alteast for another few weeks until enough congressmen return from their break to overturn the smoking ban.

Casinos are concerned that the smoking ban will hurt the casinos in the midst of an already struggling economic situation. Look for congressmen from Jersey to be pressured by lobbyists to overturn the temporary ban as soon as they have enough folks back in session to do just that.

Personally I think this is not a good plan. I hate smoke in casinos but I understand casino players want to have their freedoms and smoke it too.
