"Surely, the powerful and creative minds who built the colossal monuments of the gambling industry in Atlantic City can conjure up ways to keep luring people to casinos without killing the help.”

- Joseph Vitale, New Jersey Senator

"Casinos are always asking what else they can do to make money. They never ask what additional steps they can take to protect the health of their employees.“

Support for Smokefree Casinos

• 85% of gaming customers at Indian casinos in Southern California would prefer a smokefree environment in these casinos (J.D. Power and Associates 2008).

• 91% of Californians would be more likely to visit tribal casinos or would not change patronage if casinos went smokefree (Field Research Corporation, 2004).

• 67% of residents prefer smokefree gaming venues including persons living in the area of the Navajo Nation (Research & Polling Inc., December 2007).

"Generally speaking, we believe over the next three-year period smoking will be banned in almost all casinos throughout the United States or certainly on the eastern seaboard. Longterm, we have to be prepared to operate these casinos in a smoke-free environment.”

James B. Perry, CEO - Trump Entertainment Resorts, NJ
