The Smoke-Free Air Act bans smoking in restaurants, bars, private office buildings and other indoor places but permits it on the casino floors.

This Smoke Free Air Act must be all puffed up and just full of themselves.

-Sponsors and supporters said the casino exemption was needed to keep the casinos competitive with those in other states where smoking is allowed.-

Translation: Bad health is A-OK with us as long as it makes us a lot of money!

... Attorney Robert Gluck says the group would be satisfied if the ban included every establishment.

Or allowed for some "Pro-Choice" accomodation?

Then why couldn't they have smoke-free casinos? Aren't there people out there who would like to gamble in clean air?

Answer: Probably not many. The type of person who frequents casinos will gamble also on health. These are not the smartest folks around. If only they were interested in health.

I would be happy to see the NJ casino business go under. It is all a vast swindling operation, anyway, We were promissed that it would lower our taxes: it didn't. We were promised that it would make jobs for the poor of old Atlanti City: it didn't. The caisnos brought in their own people, and the poor were shoved aside.

Though one might have thought that it was a tall order to make NJ politics even more corrupt, the casinos have accomplished that seemingly impossible task.

Casinos teach a bad lesson to society, and undermine healthy styles of work and pleasure.

Casinos and smoking: perfect together.
