TERRY Johnson, a shift supervisor at Harry's amusement arcade on Weymouth Esplanade, has been smoking since he was about 17.
Mr Johnson, 63, of Abbotsbury Road in Weymouth said: "Once the ban kicks in here at work I think I will deal with it by just keeping busy all day.
"If I do want a cigarette I can pop outside, but I shouldn't really be smoking as much as I am doing now anyway.
"A lot of the gamblers who come in are smokers, but I'm not personally sure what effect it will have on the business as a whole."
