A waiter with terminal lung cancer is suing Melbourne’s Crown casino, alleging in court documents that his job in the venue’s high-rollers room – where smoking was permitted – contributed to his condition.
Dien Nguyen, 39, was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer in 2020, six years after he began working full-time in Crown’s Mahogany Room, where patrons had been permitted to smoke due to a special exemption from the Victorian government.
