Casino Employees Against Smoking Effects hopes political support could end indoor smoking

Since the Casino Association of New Jersey has consistently maintained that the post-pandemic recovery has not been as strong as it has been portrayed and that lifting the casino's smoking ban would lead to poor financial results and job losses, the issue has gained national attention. Although CAESE and independent observers have largely disproved this claim, some post-pandemic jitters are to be expected. The results of the November 5 voting showed that, despite the booming economy, people are finding living standards to be more expensive.

The group Casino Employees Against Smoking Effects is seeking political backing to ban indoor smoking in casinos. They argue that secondhand smoke poses significant health risks to workers and that stronger support from lawmakers could drive regulatory changes. Their advocacy focuses on creating a safer work environment, pushing for policies that prioritize employee health over industry opposition, and aligning casinos with broader public health standards seen in other workplaces.
