Does Obama smoke

Answer 1

He used to smoke cigarettes and really struggled with quitting, trying and failing a number of times. But since early 2011, he finally managed to kick this habit once and for all.

Smoking is an addiction, and the president has struggled with it for years. He tried to quit many times, and according to his wife (who very much wanted him to quit), he has finally succeeded and has not had a cigarette in about eight months.

It is a common habit that is very addicting.

Barrack Obama quit smoking in the spring of 2007 before seeking the presidential nomination. However, he has admitted to "falling off the wagon" some times. His doctor released a statement that he is currently using nicotine gum and has quit several times in the past. On David Letterman he chose not to answer the question.
President Obama used to be a regular smoker, however today he says he only very rarely slips up; in fact, since 2011, he has said he does not smoke at all, and that he had promised his wife and kids that he would finally quit. He used a nicotine patch, and at times still does.
