No clouds of smoke
The Clinton administration has decided to ban smoking in federal buildings. Not just this, even lighting up a cigarette outside office building entrances is proposed to be banned. George Bush only toyed with the idea. His successor finally did it.
The executive order, yet to be signed by Clinton, would impose the most comprehensive ban ever imposed against smoking in the US. According to officials in the Clinton administration, indoor smoking would be banned in every building owned or leased by the government.
Tom Harkin, Democrat senator from Iowa welcomed the order. "Such an executive order guarantees an individual's fundamental right to work in an environment free of unhealthy smoke,' he said.
