Atlantic City casino workers’ health feels slighted as police [are] cracking down on smokers who light up outside on the boardwalk, while smoking indoors is still legal. Casino Employees Against Smoking Effects (CEASE) called out South Jersey officials for leaving workers hanging, once again.
Atlantic City Police Captain, Kevin Fair, announced last week that the department is prepared to enforce its non-smoking rule on the boardwalk after “listening to and hearing the concerns of the residents and the visitors.” That, however, still leaves casino workers having to deal with smoke inside.
The New Jersey Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CDRA) is granting Atlantic City police $3 million to help deal with boardwalk smokers, which is not sitting well with Pete Naccarelli, co-founder of CEASE and longtime Atlantic City casino worker.
