Some are and some are not.
It depends on where you are an employ and what your job happens to be.
CONGRESS? You MUST be jesting. Why would the dukes and earls of the aristocracy be tested, or held accountable, for ANYTHING?

[George from New England]

This is ABSURD.

What about second hand smoke?

Last time I checked cigarettes were legal in 50 states. Most states require 21 years of age to buy, but I've never seen a teenager arrested for smoking.

SMOKING IS LEGAL. What are the tobacco police going to do next?

[Max McGarrity]

Don't know about Congress critters, but last I heard Senators were permitted to set their own smoking policies in their own offices AND they have a very nice smoking area in their lunch room. In addition to being able to buy tax-free, or nearly so, cigarettes. Bastids.
