Psycho Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 Will someone please educate me on a matter. While we have a smoking ban, I hear it does not apply on Capitol Hill and members of Congress and Staffers can still smoke in their offices, lunch areas and a few bars on the Hill protected by Congress. Does anybody have info on this? Quote
