Celebrate Smoke-Free Omaha!

Posted June 17, 2008

Smoke-Free Air is Here! Omaha residents can now breathe easier thanks to changes to our smoke-free air law. Effective June 17, 2008, Omaha’s smoke-free air law covers all bars and restaurants, keno establishments, most tobacco retailers and Horseman’s Park. Most of these areas were previously exempt from the smoke-free ordinance, but by ruling of the Nebraska Supreme Court must now be smoke-free in Omaha. Thanks to these changes we can all breathe a little easier.

Now you can frequent and work in more places and breathe clean, smoke-free air. Please thank the businesses that you patronize for being smoke-free. We can all breathe a little easier thanks to these changes!

Get a copy of the revised law at: http://www.ci.omaha.ne.us/Smoking%20Ban%20Ordinance.pdf.

Still have questions? Contact Christine Stewart at the Douglas County Health Department, 402-444-7496 or via email.
