smoking room

A fog of cigar smoke enveloped us as we passed the gentlemen’s smoking room.

The casino industry opposes a total smoking ban and says it is working on proposals including better ventilation systems and enclosed smoking rooms in which no employees would be involuntarily assigned to work.

The Casino Association of New Jersey declined earlier this week to provide details on its vision for smoking rooms.

It has suggested creating enclosed smoking rooms, but has refused to divulge details of that plan.

A group representing dealers called the smoking rooms proposal “an absurd idea” that every legislator should reject.
