Washington Post: Atlantic City Smoking Ban Moves Forward

Article in the Washington Post — Atlantic City Smoking Ban Moves Forward, by the Associated Press:

Casinos that helped push through an exemption to a new statewide smoking ban may have to start clearing the air anyway.

The City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to introduce a proposal to eliminate smoking in all public places, including gambling floors at the city’s 13 casinos.

A final vote could take place late next month, and the measure could take effect as soon as January if approved and signed by the mayor.
