A group of casino employees based in Atlantic City recently applauded management at two Connecticut-based casinos for upholding their casino smoking ban.
The group Casino Employees Against Smoking’s Effects (CEASE) has fought in the New Jersey legislature for a similar smoke-free environment in Atlantic City casinos. In March 2023, they joined a public hearing to decry the ill effects of smoking on casino employees.
More recently, CEASE made a public statement supporting the Connecticut smoke-free environment.
The statement came in response to an article in The Day that highlighted how the top executives at Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Resort Casino dismissed the suggestion that the no-smoking policies were responsible for a slight dip in slot-machine revenues in the last fiscal year, ending on June 30.
