New Jersey governor urges legislature to resolve Atlantic City casino smoking dispute
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill said the state legislature should resolve the dispute over smoking in Atlantic City casinos, without stating her own position on a ban. A 2006 law allows casinos to designate up to 25% of gaming floors for tobacco use, while a lawsuit brought by casino workers and the United Auto Workers remains ongoing.
Any legislative change could alter smoking rules for Atlantic City casino floors and affect workers and operators.
