It’s been a full year since the New Jersey Legislature has done anything with a bill that would ban smoking in Atlantic City’s casinos.
Wednesday marked the anniversary of a vote in the state Senate to move forward with a bill that would end smoking in the nine casinos.
But since then, it has gone nowhere, and casino workers decried the inaction.
“It’s been a year since the Senate health committee voted to protect us from secondhand smoke, and yet we’re still waiting for action from Senate leadership,” said Pete Naccarelli, a table games dealer at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa and a co-founder of the anti-smoking group CEASE.
