ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.

A judge says years of breathing secondhand smoke in an Atlantic City c.asino gave a dealer lung cancer.

Kam Wong never smoked. But a state worker's compensation judge determined a decade of exposure to secondhand smoke at the former Claridge c.asino Hotel caused her illness.

She was awarded 60 percent disability pay and lost wages for time she missed before and after two surgeries.

Her attorney says there was constantly smoke around Wong.

Atlantic City passed smoking restrictions for its 11 c.asinos last April, limiting smoking to no more than 25 percent of the c.asino floor.
