Donald Trump has called for a repeal of the partial smoking ban in Atlantic City, New Jersey, that he claims is scaring away business.
The US entrepreneur has written to Major Bob Levy and City Council President William Marsh. He said that gamblers are fleeing Atlantic City en masse for competing casinos in Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut that do not have smoking restrictions in place.
"The negative impact of the city ordinance is even more than the mere loss of a large number of smoking patrons to Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut casinos and the perhaps permanent decline in Atlantic City gaming revenue," Trump said.
