Casino workers who want to be included in the state's indoor-smoking ban will start the Labor Day weekend with a 12-hour rally Friday on the Boardwalk at Kennedy Plaza.


The rally will take place from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., with the speakers and entertainment going on from noon until about 3 p.m., said organizer Jennifer Pielhau, community partnership coordinator for Atlantic Prevention Resources.


The New Jersey Smoke Free Air Act went into effect April 15, but smoking is still allowed in gaming areas of casinos. A committee of casino employees and health advocates has been working all summer to include the gaming halls. Assemblyman Jim Whelan, D-Atlantic, has introduced such a measure and said he plans to push it forward in the fall.


Speakers at Friday's rally will include Whelan, Atlantic City Councilman Gene Robinson, Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson and several casino employees, including one who got lung cancer even though he never smoked.
