- Hot Off the Presses! Youth Tobacco Use Rates Decline!
Nebraska's youth (grades 9-12) smoking rate is 18.4%, according to the 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). That's down from 22.3% in 2007 and from an all-time high of 39.2% in 1997. High school youth who use smokeless tobacco (chew) is at 10.9%, down from 13.0% in 2007. (Note: YRBS data is not weighted due to a low response rate from schools.)

- U.S. Smokeless Tobacco No Longer to Sponsor PRCA
In October, the U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company (USSTC) announced that it will end its sponsorship of PRCA (the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) at the end of 2009. USSTC has sponsored the PRCA since 1986. However, the company will still sponsor PBR (the Professional Bull Riders).

- Kudos to Cass County
In September, Cass County became the first Nebraska county to prohibit smoking on its property - both indoors and outdoors. The policy applies to all tobacco products including chew and went into effect immediately after the vote. Congratulations!
