Neb.)-Heineman Signs Smoking Ban Law

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Governor Dave Heineman has signed into a law a statewide smoking ban that will go into effect in summer 2009.

Heineman said in a statement Tuesday that he weighed the interests of business owners and health concerns of the public, then signed it because public health is a critical concern.

The law will not let cities and counties opt out of the ban and is modeled after the ordinance approved in Lincoln three years ago.
