Congratulations to our friends in Nebraska for passing a statewide smoke-free workplace policy!  All workplaces - including restaurants, bars, and gaming facilities - will be completely smoke-free as of June 1, 2009!

Here's a quick excerpt from the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids press release - it's exciting to see all of these smoke-free states, countries and territories all on one list (including Minnesota!):

"Nebraska joins 22 other states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico in passing smoke-free legislation that covers restaurants and bars. The states are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon (effective Jan. 1, 2009), Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont and Washington (the Montana and Utah laws extend to bars in 2009). A growing number of countries have also passed nationwide smoke-free laws, including Bermuda, Bhutan, France, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, the United Kingdom and Uruguay."
