“Why are our lives less important than every other employee in the state of New Jersey?”

The people who make the rules want more money.
If you make people go outside for smoke breaks, they may go to another casino or go home, ending the cash flow. Even the act of going outside and coming back is minutes they aren't gambling and giving the casino money.
You, like most other Americans, are sacrificed so the already wealthy can get more money.
