新泽西州参议员约翰·伯齐切利 (John Burzichelli) 提出的一项新法案将允许大西洋城赌场继续允许赌徒在赌场大厅吸烟，但有一些额外的限制。 A new bill proposed by New Jersey state Sen. John Burzichelli would permit Atlantic City casinos to continue allowing gamblers to smoke on the casino floor with some additional restrictions. 该法案维持赌场楼层吸烟区现有 25% 的限制，并允许在设有老虎机的非封闭区域吸烟，指定为距离真人荷官赌桌至少 15 英尺的吸烟区。 The bill maintains the existing 25% limit of the casino floor for smoking areas and allows smoking in unenclosed areas with slot machines, designated as smoking zones at least 15 feet away from live dealer table games. 赌场还可以选择提供带有独立通风的封闭式吸烟室，员工不会被迫在违背自己意愿的情况下在其中工作。 Casinos would also have the option to provide enclosed smoking rooms with separate ventilation, with no worker being forced to work in them against their will. 这项拟议的立法与另一项旨在完全禁止在赌场吸烟的法案发生冲突。 This proposed legislation comes into conflict with another bill that seeks to completely ban smoking in casinos. 美国癌症协会癌症行动网络敦促新泽西州立法者拒绝这项新法案，并在赌场实施全面禁烟令，认为接触二手烟可能导致癌症和其他健康问题。 The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network has urged New Jersey lawmakers to reject the new bill and implement a total smoking ban in casinos, arguing that exposure to secondhand smoke can cause cancer and other health issues.
