A group called Casino Employees Against Smoking Effects (CEASE) says Kansas casino workers are fighting to end smoking inside casinos.
CEASE says the Kansas employees are worried about their health. So they will work to close the loophole in Kansas laws that allows smoking in casinos.
“We are joining our peers from across the country and launching CEASE Kansas to demand a clean and safe working environment for the thousands of workers who are the backbone of the gaming industry,” Joe Hafley, founder of CEASE Kansas, said in a news release.
Hafley is a casino security officer. “Even if I’m not stuck on a gaming table like some of my coworkers, I’m still forced to breathe secondhand smoke throughout my shift and go home smelling like cigarettes,” he said.
