Or that the Congress built a new enclosed smoker-friendly dining room in the Rayburn Building for themselves?

Congress DID THIS? How did you find this out, Max??? I'd like to have a link so when I go head-to-head with our two Senators I can throw this in their face! Both of them are NICO ANTI SMOKING NAZI'S! Let me know where I can find this in print.

Found one, SheLion:

(The Senate cafeterias have smoking and nonsmoking areas. The far grander Senate Dining Room has no restrictions, perhaps because it has its own ventilation system.) In the House of Representatives, the Speaker has banned smoking in all public areas including corridors, terraces and restrooms--except for a recently designated indoor smoking area on the second floor inside the Rayburn Building. Theoretically, for now, congressmen may do as they please in their offices.
