A new attempt to ban smoking in Atlantic City casinosThe Atlantic City Council voted to ban smoking in public places especially in gambling halls. In January 2007, Atlantic City tried to pass its own law banning smoking in the casinos but backed down under withering pressure from the casino industry, which claimed the measure could cut revenue by 20 percent and mean the loss of as many as 3,400 jobs. The attempt to ban smoking in casinos failed. Now the smoking areas are still not walled off and separated from nonsmoking areas, as last year's law had called for, and smoke still carries throughout the casino floor. Smokers still feel persecuted, and casinos still worry about losing business in an already bad economic climate, which is being worsened by the growing success of slots parlors in nearby Pennsylvania and New York. The gamblers on the floors of Atlantic City casinos soon would give up smoking except patrons, because patrons still will be able to light up in unattended smoking lounges away from the table games. Casino workers were forced to wear T-shirts with the slogan "Nobody deserves to work in an ashtray". "The employees of Atlantic City's casinos have hit a jackpot of their own tonight. Hardworking casino employees have been keeping Atlantic City's multibillion-dollar casino industry on a roll but have been gambling with their lives for far too long," said Dr. Arnold M. Baskies, chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society in New Jersey and New York. Marybeth Litchholt, a dealer for 21 years at Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, said it's about time that casino workers' health is as valued as those of other workers in New Jersey. She added: "Because of cigarette smoke, I have sinus problems. There are times when I'm working in the smoking section when I'm short of breath. You can just feel it in your lungs. My clothes stink." Karen Blumenfeld, the policy director of the New Jersey Group against Smoking Pollution, asserted that more than two dozen states nationwide regulate smoking inside casinos, eight ban smoking altogether inside the gambling halls, and two others will impose a total ban starting in 2009. A continent and half an ocean away from the lights of Atlantic City, a Hawaii county also banned smoking at beach parks and other outdoor recreational areas. Backers were inspired by students who collected more than 2,000 cigarette butts from a beach as a science project and raised concerns about the litter's effects on marine life. The regulation went into effect immediately. The Atlantic City council thinks that this new legislation will help everyone even children, because smokers will smoke less and in such a way they will give a good example to their kids. |
