For Swift, you can add this inside your cellForRowAtIndexPath method.

var tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "labelTapped")
tap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
cell.label.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
cell.label.tag = indexPath.row

Then for action

func labelTapped(gesture: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
    let indexPath = NSIndexPath(forRow: gesture.view!.tag, inSection: 0)
    let cell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath) as UITableViewCell

    // Do whatever you want.
}
