As New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy was putting the finishing touches on his annual “State of the State” speech in Trenton last Friday, members of CEASE — Casino Employees Against Smoking’s Effects — appeared on YouTube calling for action by state legislators to ban smoking in Atlantic City casinos.
The co-founders of the group – Borgata dealers Pete Naccarelli, Nicole Vitola, and Lamont White – urged the legislature to pass a bill by April 15 that would ban all forms of smoking inside the nine casinos.
“We are calling on the legislature to send a bill to Governor Murphy’s desk to close the casino smoking loophole by April 15,” Naccarelli said in the video.
