Atlantic City still smoking until tax time
From Times Wire Reports
Atlantic City’s casinos aren’t stubbing out the cigarettes just yet.
The City Council in the gambling hub put off a vote on banning smoking in casinos to give the nightspots more time to get ready.
A new, amended proposal will be voted on Jan. 24 and is expected to pass. It would go into effect April 15; the previous measure would have taken effect in a month. Anti-smoking groups and casino workers welcomed the ban, while the casino industry warned of legal action.
