State-Wide Smoking Ban Bill Signed
Governor Heineman signed a statewide smoking ban into law that will go into effect in June 2009, outlawing smoking in bars, restaurants and most other workplaces. Some business owners say they have the right to let patrons partake in a legal activity, yet public health issues have won over owners.
"The public health concern is a critical one, and that is why I signed"
the law said Heineman.
Starting in June 2009, cities and counties won't be able to opt out of the ban, which will include all workplaces except where smoking research is done and tobacco shops. But Nebraska isn't the only state with this kind of ban. Twenty-one other states have similar bans, according to the American Lung Association.

5 Ways to Stay Healthier During Flu Season
- 1. Wash Your Hands
- Most cold and flu viruses are spread by direct contact. Germs can live for hours, in some cases weeks, only to be picked up by the next person who touches the same object. Wash your hands often. If no sink is available, rub your hands together very hard for a minute. This helps break up most of the cold germs. Another option is to rub an alcohol-based hand sanitizer on your hands.
- 2. Don't Touch Your Face
- Cold and flu viruses enter your body through the eyes, nose, or mouth. Touching their faces is the major way children catch colds, and how they pass colds on to their parents.
- 3. Drink Plenty of Fluids
- Water flushes your system, washing out the poisons as it re-hydrates you. A typical, healthy adult needs eight 8-ounce glasses of fluids each day. How can you tell if you're getting enough liquid? If the color of your urine runs close to clear, you're getting enough. If it's deep yellow, you need more fluids.
- 4. Eat Yogurt
- Some studies have shown that eating a daily cup of low-fat yogurt can reduce your susceptibility to colds by 25 percent. Researchers think the beneficial bacteria in yogurt may stimulate production of immune system substances that fight disease.
- 5. Don't Smoke
- Statistics show that heavy smokers get more severe colds and more frequent ones. Even being around smoke profoundly zaps the immune system. Smoke dries out your nasal passages and paralyzes cilia. These are the delicate hairs that line the mucous membranes in your nose and lungs, and with their wavy movements, sweep cold and flu viruses out of the nasal passages. Experts contend that one cigarette can paralyze cilia for as long as 30 to 40 minutes.
