As a bill that would ban smoking inside Atlantic City casinos continues to draw debate, a new poll shows a majority of New Jerseyans are in favor of the move.

The Stockton University poll released Friday found 62% of Garden State adults support prohibiting smoking on casino floors, while 31% are opposed and 6% are unsure.

The survey shows fewer residents in South Jersey (59%)- the region where Atlantic City is located – back the idea compared to those in North Jersey (66%).

Though New Jersey barred smoking inside restaurants and most other public places in 2006, casinos were exempted. Gambling halls are still allowed to permit smoking on 25% of their floors.
