Banished to the Basement?
Fox News
The legislative agenda may not be the only thing that changes under new Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The Washington Post reports Pelosi is considering banning her colleagues from smoking in the Speaker's Lobby outside the House Chamber — a popular hangout for lawmakers enjoying a smoke between votes.
That would relegate smokers to the building's only other smoking location — a cramped, unmarked room in the basement. Pelosi is said to privately detest smoking, but may hold off on the ban so as not to offend some important Democrats whose support she'll need next year.

I am against smoking laws but I am happy when I go home and don't smell like someone elses cigarette stink :)
