As New Jersey moves closer to a smoke-free gaming environment, casino employees in the state are eagerly anticipating the change. With the help of the Smoke-Free Air Act, which was signed into law in 2019, casinos are now required to be smoke-free. This new law has been met with excitement from casino employees who have long been exposed to secondhand smoke while on the job.

For many years, casino employees have been exposed to secondhand smoke while working in the gaming environment. This has been especially problematic for those who work in close proximity to smokers, such as dealers and bartenders. The Smoke-Free Air Act is a major step forward in protecting these workers from the dangers of secondhand smoke.

The new law requires all casinos in New Jersey to be smoke-free. This means that smoking will no longer be allowed inside the casino or on the gaming floor. While some casinos have already implemented this policy, others are still in the process of transitioning to a smoke-free environment.

The new law also requires casinos to provide designated smoking areas outside of the gaming floor. These areas must be at least 25 feet away from any entrance or exit and must be clearly marked. This will help ensure that casino employees are not exposed to secondhand smoke while on the job.

The Smoke-Free Air Act is a major victory for casino employees in New Jersey. Not only will it help protect them from the dangers of secondhand smoke, but it will also create a healthier and more enjoyable work environment. Casino employees are looking forward to a smoke-free gaming environment and the benefits it will bring.
