Outrageous

To the Editor:
Richard Epro is outraged that Atlantic City casinos oppose a proposed smoking ban "simply to preserve their profits" (Letters, Dec. 2).
People smoke and patronize casinos voluntarily. I'm outraged that some arrogant persons feel entitled to force the rest of us to behave according to their preferences - and thankful that the profit motive gives casinos the courage to defend individual liberty against the run-amok presumptuousness of the Richard Epros of the world.
Sincerely,
