Advertisment:Claim: Republicans overturned a ban on smoking in the U.S. House of Representatives in January 2023. Rating: About this rating True Context Under former Speaker Nancy Pelosi's leadership, the House did ban smoking in most areas of the Capitol in 2007. However, there has never been a ban on smoking in a House member's own office, even under the Pelosi ban. While it is factual that a smoking ban instituted by Pelosi was overturned, that reversal did not affect the presence of office smoking. Because, however, a ban instituted by House Democrats in 2007 was overturned by House Republicans in 2023, the claim is "True."
