Atlantic City Council votes to overturn full smoking ban; Measure takes effect Nov. 16

ATLANTIC CITY - Casino patrons will take their last breath of completely smoke-free air on city gaming floors Nov. 16 after City Council lifted a smoking ban Monday that went into effect 12 days ago.

The 5-4 vote overturned council's unanimous decision in April to ban smoking at all 11 Atlantic City casinos. Council will revisit the ban in a year with hopes that the country's economic crisis will have subsided.

The measure was immediately signed into law by outgoing Mayor Scott Evans in his office five floors above council chambers.

They're idiots and morally decrepit people. You can not possibly justify money over the health of people. I'm sick and tired of government bailing big corporations out.
