ATLANTIC CITY , N.J. — A group of Atlantic City casino workers seeking to ban smoking in the gambling halls will launch an advertising campaign featuring their children in response to a judge's rejection of a lawsuit that would have ended smoking in the nine casinos.
The ruling relieved the casinos, which continue to struggle in the aftermath of the COVID19 pandemic, with most of them winning less money from in-person gamblers than they did before the virus outbreak in 2020. Currently, smoking is allowed on 25% of the casino floor in Atlantic City. But those areas are not contiguous, and the practical effect is that secondhand smoke is present in varying degrees throughout the casino floor.The workers sought to overturn New Jersey's indoor smoking law, which bans it in virtually every other workplace except casinos.
The casinos say that banning smoking will lead to revenue and job losses. But workers dispute those claims. Robert Jenrick in pole position to be next Tory leader as Priti Patel eliminated in first round of voting
