CEASE urges New Jersey governor candidates to support casino smoking ban
Casino Employees Against Smoking Effects (CEASE) has asked New Jersey governor candidates Mikie Sherrill and Jack Ciattarelli to support a full indoor casino smoking ban. Ciattarelli’s spokesman said the candidate favoured leaving the issue to casino operators and unions; Sherrill’s team said it would respond later. A CEASE lawsuit challenging casino exemptions under state clean-air laws remains ongoing.
The candidates’ positions could affect whether Atlantic City casinos retain an exemption from indoor smoking restrictions.
