Some people worry it would send gamblers across the Delaware River
A long-standing proposal in New Jersey’s state legislature would close the carveout in the Smokefree Air Act, and ban smoking in Atlantic City's nine casinos. Gov. Phil Murphy has said he would sign the bill when it lands on his desk. There’s been some pushback against this, as some people worry that banning smoking in New Jersey casinos would send gamblers across the Delaware River.
