This one is for my dad, who needs to quit smoking, and just asked me last night about how well Obama was doing with his quest to kick the habit.
From the NY Daily News:
Fired-up Obama still smokes a cigarette now and then
Barack Obama says he sometimes treats himself to a cigarette on the campaign trail.
Obama, who supposedly quit smoking at his wife's insistence in 2006, told Men's Health magazine he has bummed a few cigarettes during the White House race.
"But I figure, seeing as I'm running for President, I need to cut myself a little slack," Obama, 47, told the magazine.
Obama said he hasn't experienced "huge withdrawal symptoms" in part because he smoked only seven or eight cigarettes a day at his peak.
In June, when asked about his last puff during a news conference at a St. Louis hospital, Obama sputtered, "I don't remember, but it was probably, it's been a while, you know, months."
