Ban on Smoking in Federal Buildings Act

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Ban on Smoking in Federal Buildings 
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) environmental tobacco smoke is a cause of lung cancer 
        in healthy nonsmokers and is responsible for acute and chronic 
        respiratory problems and other health impacts among sensitive 
        populations;
            (2) environmental tobacco smoke comes from secondhand smoke 
        exhaled by smokers and sidestream smoke emitted from the 
        burning of cigarettes, cigars, and pipes;
            (3) citizens of the United States spend up to 90 percent of 
        a day indoors and, consequently, there is a significant 
        potential for exposure to environmental tobacco smoke from 
        indoor air;
            (4) exposure to environmental tobacco smoke occurs in 
        public buildings and other indoor facilities; and
            (5) the health risks posed by environmental tobacco smoke 
        exceed the risks posed by many environmental pollutants 
        regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency.
