Nebraska Clean Indoor Air Act (NE §71-5716) bans smoking in indoor workplaces and public buildings. Omaha extends restrictions to playgrounds, public-building entrances, and Henry Doorly Zoo grounds, though most outdoor public spaces remain unrestricted.
The Nebraska Clean Indoor Air Act under Nebraska Revised Statute 71-5716 prohibits smoking in indoor workplaces, restaurants, bars, and public buildings statewide. Omaha augments the state ban with rules barring smoking in city playgrounds, within entrances of city facilities, and across Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium property. Vape and electronic nicotine products are covered under the Clean Indoor Air Act amendments. Sidewalks, streets, and most parks remain open to outdoor smoking absent a special-event ban.
Smoking inside a covered area violates the Clean Indoor Air Act with citations and civil penalties; venue operators face additional license consequences for repeated noncompliance.
