Bob; The poker rooms in A.C. have been non-smoking for sometime now, but they didn't start out that way. When Taj Mahal announced they were going 100% non-smoking in their poker room several years ago, many poker players said they would not play there anymore. However, many more players (smokers and non-smokers alike) said that they preferred the non-smoking atmosphere and the Taj Mahal poker room is usually filled with players ... as is Borgata ... A.C.'s largest and most luxurious poker room.
