Casino Workers Ask Murphy To Pressure Lawmakers On Indoor Smoking

Atlantic City casino staff are asking New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy to make one last effort. They want him to pressure state lawmakers to vote on a bill that would stop indoor smoking on casino floors before he leaves office next month. Gamblingnews.com reports the plea comes from members of Casino Employees Against Smoking Effects (CEASE). This group has fought for almost five years to end a rule that lets people smoke inside Atlantic City casinos. In a letter to the governor in mid-December signed by 160 workers, they said that just saying he supports them is not enough anymore. They believe Murphy needs to take action while he is still in charge.
