City of Plattsmouth Passes Tobacco-Free Resolution

(Plattsmouth, NE) – Plattsmouth became the largest city in Cass County Community to implement a comprehensive tobacco-free city owned policy on November 17th when their city council voted 6-1 to adopt Resolution 25-012 . This policy follows similar ones that have been enacted in Eagle, Elmwood, Greenwood, Louisville, Manley, Murray, & Weeping Water. Gretna and Springfield in neighboring Sarpy County also have comprehensive policies.

Whereas the use and exposure to tobacco products and tobacco smoke are related to adverse health risks; and whereas restricting the use of tobacco products in outdoor areas which are City of Plattsmouth owned is intended to protect and promote the health, safety, and welfare of community residents, particularly community children and youth. All City of Plattsmouth recreational areas, parks, playgrounds, athletic fields, community center,

senior center, waterpark, and library shall be posted with tobacco-free signs.

For the purposes of this City of Plattsmouth Resolution No. 25-012, tobacco means any tobacco

products, including but not limited to cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco, electronic nicotine delivery systems, vaping systems and products, e-cigarettes and e-cigarette type products, alternative nicotine products, tobacco product look-a-likes, and products intended to replicate tobacco products either by appearance or effect.

R. Paul Lambert, City of Plattsmouth Mayor stated, “Recently, the City Council approved a resolution creating smoke-free spaces for the City of Plattsmouth including public parks and other designated areas like the Library, Senior Center and Community Center. As Mayor, I support the effort of creating smoke-free parks and public spaces. Smoke-free areas are an investment in the health of our community and especially, our children. When our public spaces are clean and safe, our youth can play, learn, and grow in an environment that supports their well-being and their future. Our youth deserve every opportunity to grow strong and healthy. Choosing not to smoke isn’t just a personal decision—it’s a commitment to a brighter future for themselves, their families, and our entire community.”

“I applaud the City of Plattsmouth and their leaders for taking steps to support changing the social norm of tobacco use community spaces. In places primarily targeted towards youth like playgrounds, parks, and community centers - tobacco has no place. As a former tobacco user myself, I have found that no user wants their child to ever start - and the less our kids see tobacco use in these spaces, the better.” said Autumn Sky Burns, Tobacco Education & Advocacy of the Midlands (T.E.A.M.) Community Health Coordinator.

T.E.A.M. offers support to tobacco-users in Cass County who want to quit or reduce their usage. You can order a free tobacco “quit kit” by visiting www.teamtobaccofree.org/cessation.
