Smoking has been banned in all executive branch buildings.
Section

I know that congress is exempt from executive orders and routinely exempts itself from all sorts of laws, but maybe this is a good issue for the new congress to tackle, should the congress have the same rules as every other federal employee, and almost every US citizen?

To the first part, The Capitol Building is part of the Legislative Branch.
To the second part, I agree that congress should have the same rules as every other fed and citizen. Hypocrisy is rampant. For instance, Rep. Jefferson (D-LA) saying that the search (which appears to be backed up by probable cause) that led to the discovery $90K in his freezer was not a just search for a member of the Legislative Branch. I suspect that search would have been just for us simple US citizens, though.
