As the video spread, Rep. Lee immediately apologized on social media.
According to USA Today and other foreign media, Kathy Zubinao (41), a Green Unionist, was caught on camera smoking an e-cigarette on the 20th (local time) as Colombia's parliament was discussing the revision of the health insurance and medical law.
When Jubi's eyes met with the camera, he immediately closed the electronic cigarette device, but smoke billowed from his mouth and nose.
The video quickly spread online, and Zubinao apologized on social media.
She apologized to the people for what happened at the plenary session. This will never happen again."
The amendment included a ban on smoking and using e-cigarette devices in Colombian government buildings, including the Capitol.
Meanwhile, there have been mixed reactions online to her actions.
Netizens are asking "Does smoking make sense during a council meeting?", Criticistic comments such as "I would normally have smoked more" were posted, but some appreciated the quick acknowledgement and apology.
