Date:10/31/2007

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J., Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is being released by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids:

A new poll finds voters from across New Jersey express strong support for 100 percent smoke-free casinos. By more than a two-to-one margin (69 percent to 28 percent), voters support extending the statewide Smoke-Free Air Act to cover casino gaming floors. This support comes from a broad-based coalition of voters across the state, including 72 percent of Democrats, 68 percent of independents and 63 percent of Republicans.

"These findings certainly point to the need for New Jersey's legislators to take action and extend the Smoke-free Air Act to protect all casino employees in Atlantic City."
