“For several years I worked as a contractor for a local health insurance company and provided health and wellness education to casino employees. Many reported going home after a shift with burning eyes, a sore throat, or a headache, or having an asthma attack triggered by smoke exposure at work. While the employers appear to be invested in employee health — as evidenced by having a wellness program — they are inadvertently putting employees at risk with an environment that exposes them to tobacco smoke.”
