Atlantic City casinos are still clouded in secondhand smoke, and the science is clear: there’s no safe level of exposure. Recent testing found air quality levels inside casinos at “very unhealthy” to “hazardous.”

New Jersey ended smoking in nearly every public space 19 years ago. It’s past time to close this loophole.

New Jersey bans smoking in other public places, but smokers can still light up in the state's nine casinos. We tested the toxicity of that secondhand smoke. It's time to end this sweetheart deal the gaming industry has enjoyed for nearly two decades.

Kids are more vulnerable to indoor air pollution than adults.

Kids take more breaths per minute—and breathe in more toxins.

Kids can’t always explain when something feels wrong.

Children with asthma, allergies or other health conditions face even higher risks from poor indoor air.

Let’s protect our most vulnerable. Learn more at Lung.org/CASC.
