Nebraska Clean Indoor Air Act
The Nebraska Clean Indoor Air Act of 2008 required indoor workplaces in Nebraska to be smoke-free as of June 1, 2009. The law was expanded to include electronic smoking devices which went into effect on November 14, 2020.
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 and the use of electronic smoking devices in enclosed indoor workspaces including restaurants, bars, keno establishments, other workplaces (retail/office space, manufacturing, etc.) and indoor public places.
