Atlantic City Casino Smoker

Mr. Today says:

I don't smoke and I never enjoyed the smell as it soaks into my clothing. I konw a lot of smokers are bothered by the no smoking sections that have formed in all the Atlantic City casinos. "OMG the damn casino took away my lucky area by adding in the no smoking section!" Well, I got news for you, get over it! If they made your section you play into a no smoking section, then it wasn't your lucky section. From another view, I can see the casinos losing customers due to this but I'm sure its such a small fraction that it probably doesn't even bother them.


Mr Yesterday says:

Unfortunately I did smoke for a long time. But then I quit and moved on with my life. I also don't like my cloths smelling like smoke. I don't understand what the big deal is with the smoking ban in Atlantic City. Smoking here, no smoking there. It's like there is an invisable wall that doesn't let the smoke from one corner of the room to the other. I think you should be able to smoke in casinos in Atlantic City hotels. People have been smoking inside casinos since the casinos opened in the late seventies. Also by not letting people smoke in the casinos, it's taking away from market share with the other close by states that offer some king of casino play. Just last month alone (October 2007) the casinos took a hit of 7.5 % loss due to other states promoting gaming and I'm sure that the smoking ban had a little to do with it. So for me, I also say get over it, but smoking should be allowed in casinos.
