New Jersey Poker Has Smoky Future

Atlantic City is the second biggest poker playing city in America, thanks to the proliferation of casinos there, and is also one of the biggest trouble spots when it comes to smoking bans. A health panel that is part of the State Senate is going to consider a statewide smoking ban change that will reverse the exception that Atlantic City's 11 casinos currently enjoy. This will be the third go-round on this law, and the consideration will take place on Monday. The current ban, which went into effect in April of last year, bans smoking from most public places.
