No More Excuses: New Jersey Casino Workers Demand Smoke-Free Workplaces

New Jersey casino employees are reaching their breaking point. They are insisting on closing the gap that permits smoking on gaming floors. During a recent sector gathering, employees demonstrated and criticized the Casino Association of New Jersey for evading the matter. They are intensifying pressure on legislators to finally approve a bill that would eliminate smoking in casinos, emphasizing that comparable measures have support from both political parties. Employees are weary of delays, underscoring the health hazards they encounter daily from passive smoke. They contend that casino executives in their smoke-free workspaces don’t confront this issue, and it’s time to give precedence to employee well-being. The message is unambiguous: cease the justifications and enact the legislation.

Inaction is not an option when lives hang in the balance. We demand immediate measures. These legislative proposals must advance, and we must guarantee widespread comprehension of the advantages of smoking cessation. Their progress has been impeded for too long, and to be candid, we are holding them responsible. Convene a session, listen attentively to our concerns, and let us bring this matter to a close. Our voices will not be silenced.”
