Overview
This bill seeks to eliminate a specific exemption allowing smoking in casinos and casino simulcasting facilities within New Jersey. Currently, these establishments are permitted to allow smoking under certain conditions. This legislation would remove this exception, bringing them in line with the broader statewide smoking ban established by the New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act. The change aims to improve public health by reducing exposure to secondhand smoke in these venues.
