While I would like to say that I am a non smoker, and if it were
economically possible to ban smoking in casinos, I would be for it. If the survey says
that NJ non smokers would patronize a casino in AC if there was no smoking,
then when the ban is in place, they better get off their butt and pack those
casinos before the workforce gets laid off. The casinos, while supplying the
region with jobs and support, are a business and not a charity. Smoking has
been hazardous to you health way before Resorts International opened in 1978.
That did not stop the many who seeked the casino jobs then and knew it was in
a smoking environment.
NJ is noutorious for NOT supporting new businesses and ventures. Just ask
the residents of Atlantic City where their Hockey and Basketball Teams, and
where the supermarket is. Miss America left for Vegas, and I am sure a fraction
who saw the parade on the boardwalk for free actually paid a ticket to the
pageant in the Boardwalk Hall.
Its time that you all put your money where your mouth is before you have
empty towers on the boardwalk again.

It would be ILL-advised to continue to force casino dealers and the
patrons to breath toxic smoke that is proven to kill. The casinos should do the
right thing for once and ban smoking entirely.
Stop feeling sorry for the 20% or LESS that gamble and smoke and choose to
do so and start representing the MAJORITY 80% that do NOT.
Donald Trump was never so wrong in his life by saying that he wants to take
care of those who smoke. Why? So they can kill others?

The editorial makes all the sense in the world. It's been known for a
long time that seconhand smoke is very detrimental to the health of
non-smokers. That being said, why were casinos ever exempt from the smoking ban?
Customers and staff have been exposed for no good reason and this has to change
soon. And the casino staff are exposed for sometimes more than 40 hours a week
to this know toxin and carcingen.

I believe that it is really too late for the most senior casino workers.
they have been exposed for so long to the second hand smoke that the ban
will do little to change the likelyhood of them developing a smoking related
illness. What is disgusting to me is the effort to reduce the culpability of
the perpetrators of the smoking enviornment, by saying "OK, we are smoke free
and if you get a smoking related illness its not our fault.."

I would just like to say that creating smoking lounges is unfair to
other industries in NJ. Why do casinos get right to allow their guests to smoke
indoors while every one else has to smoke outdoors. Furthermore can you see
it now? If they do create smoking lounges, inconsiderate smokers will be
smoking on the way to the lounge and their will still be smokers thinking you can
still smoke indoors or standing by a trash can and smoking. IF the state and
casinos are not going to enforce a complete indoor air act then creating
unenforced smoking lounges is a waste.
