Casino Employees Against Smoking Effects (CEASE), a group that fights for smoke-free workplaces in Atlantic City’s casinos, has started a new ad campaign targeting New Jersey lawmakers.

Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
