Statewide Smoking Ban Is signed into law
A huge victory for public health happened when Governor Heineman signed LB 395 on February 26, 2008. The Nebraska Clean Indoor Air Act of 2008 requires indoor workplaces in Nebraska to be smoke-free effective June 1, 2009. The purpose of the Act is to protect the public health and welfare by prohibiting smoking in public places and places of employment.
The Act eliminates smoking in enclosed indoor workspaces including restaurants, bars, keno establishments, other workplaces (retail/office space, manufacturing, etc.) and indoor public places. For more information go to: www.smokefree.ne.gov/
