Workers seeking to ban smoking in Atlantic City’s casinos are asking an appeals court to consider their request, saying a lower court judge who dismissed their lawsuit did so in error.
Siberian Husky survives gunshot injuries, now available for adoptionA gambler smokes while playing a slot machine at the Hard Rock casino in Atlantic City, N.J., on Aug. 8, 2022. – Workers seeking to ban smoking in Atlantic City's casinos on Friday asked an appeals court to consider their request, saying a lower court judge who dismissed their lawsuit did so in error.
The appeal seeks so-called “emergent relief," asking the appellate division to quickly hear and rule on the matter. New Jersey's indoor smoking law prohibits it in virtually all workplaces — except casinos. The workers contend that constitutes an illegal special law giving unequal protection to different groups of people.
Currently, smoking is allowed on 25% of the casino floor in Atlantic City. But those areas are not contiguous, and the practical effect is that secondhand smoke is present in varying degrees throughout the casino floor.
