Smoking Gun

I must of missed the fact that the President Elect Barack Obama smoked cigarettes! Now i know all you cigarette smokers are saying what's the big deal but seriously with all this man has accomplished are you telling me he can't kick this habit. Honestly I think its a real big deal that he smokes cigarettes and I would go as far as saying its a matter of national security for him to quit! I'm sure you can tell I don't smoke and the truth is I want to slap just about everybody that lights a cigarette around me. Not to mention i know a couple people that picked up the nasty habit well into their late twenties, which baffles me! I think by now we all know how bad cigarettes are for your health and more so for those taking in the second hand smoke around you. So with all this president represents, he needs to get his s@#t together and put it down. I'm sure other presidents before him smoked but there is to much riding on this president and i think with so many serious and complex issues facing him, if he can't overcome cigarettes then Houston we have a problem. Not only should he do it for his own health, which matters when you're the leader of the "Free world", not only should he do it as to not expose his friends and family to the deadly second hand smoke, but he should do it to set an example. To show that nothing is to big nor to small to overcome. To make sure that no kid in this country grows up saying; Hey the president smokes, I want to try it too. Lastly I'm not so sure i feel comfortable you can fight the "evil" corporations when your hooked on one of their products!!!!!!

Agreed. It is a nasty habit and why some decide to pick it up? Who knows???? Stress relief? To look cool? Me myself, i believe its hereditary, i come from a family of smokers. Luckily everyone did eventually quit the habit. Now how cool would it be if our president decided to quit publicly and then stirred and influenced a nation of smokers to kick the habit? Me myself? I'll try and not wait for new years to quit.....after reading Dank's blog i'd rather try it our today......now the trees......that's a whole other ball game my dude. Stay posted - Drain 808
