dozens of casino workers and public health advocates gathered at a rally to call on New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill to take a firm stance on the state’s casino smoking loophole, which has exposed Atlantic City casino workers to toxic secondhand smoke for the past 20 years. Casino workers rallied outside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino just as Governor Sherrill arrived to deliver the keynote address at the East Coast Gaming Congress. The timing was symbolic, down to the very day, marking the 20th anniversary of the enactment of the New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act — the very law that created the loophole.
