Smoking at casinos has long been a divisive issue in Pennsylvania. Smoking was legalized in Mount Airy in May 2022, and it was reported in August 2022.
Mount Airy Casino faced a lot of criticism for allowing smoking, and this is still true in January 2023. Back in August, they opted not to comment on the situation.
