New Jersey senate president Stephen Sweeney (pictured) has confirmed there have been no serious discussions about the anti-smoking legislation. His statement comes after anti-smoking campaigners urged New Jersey&rsquo;s lame-duck legislature to pass the bill.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri\"><em><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">&ldquo;We haven&rsquo;t even started to talk about it, really, in any deep dialogue,&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"> Sweeney said.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">However, Governor Phil Murphy, who earlier this month won re-election, has said he will sign the measure if lawmakers approve it. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network released a poll it commissioned that showed New Jersey residents favour banning smoking in the casinos by a margin of greater than 2-to-1.
