Smoking Ban Banned in Atlantic City

The smoking ban in Atlantic City casinos that took effect on October 15, 2008, will be discontinued for at least one year, starting November 16, 2008. The Atlantic City Council cited the weak economy and declining gambling revenues as the main reasons for rescinding the ban. In short, the casinos and the city not only want, but need our business. Now that's the kind of news I like to read (and write about). For more, check out the full story in the New York Times.
