Nancy Pelosi isn't making friend on the Hill... She has banned smoking in the Speaker's Lobby, effective immediately.
"The days of smoke-filled rooms in the United States Capitol are over. Medical science has unquestionably established the dangerous effects of secondhand smoke, including an increased risk of cancer and respiratory diseases. I am a firm believer that Congress should lead by example," Pelosi said.
Congress is still allowed to chain smoke in their own offices.
I find myself actually agreeing with this one... To a point.
I don't care if smokers smoke. Smoke all day long if you want to! In public forums, however, I can't choose to not breathe your second-hand smoke. Isn't it only fair to compromise?
