Paging the surgeon general! President Barack Obama artfully dodged a nicotine-related question from CNN's Anderson Cooper during an interview at the White House on Tuesday, leaving us to wonder whether he has been smoke-free since assuming the presidency.

Cooper's question: "Have you had a cigarette since you've been to the White House?"

The president's answer: "No, I haven't had one on these grounds."

"OK, you said on these grounds," Cooper noted. "I'll let you pass on that."

Obama smiled brightly but did not elaborate.
 
Reminds me ...

of the Lloyd Bridges line in the movie Airplane!

"sure picked a helluva time to quit smoking!!" :p
 
Just to add: I would be a little concerned with a pres who smoked. During "no smoking" long drawn out negotiations and meetings one does start hanging for a smoke and this can affect decisions being made at those meetings.

I can see it now: a 12 hour marathon defence meeting regarding a possible attack from a foreign nation: FUUUCK where's the damn football, I'll take care of this RIGHT now.....ok, who has a light? lol.....

Better yet: a photo on the cover of time magazine of Obama sneaking a ciggie on the balcony of the white house shiverring his ass off in the middle of a snowstorm lol....
 
Then again, if he did a smoke break now and then, he'd be more chilled out and introspective...compared to 12 hours straight. I'd love to see a picture of Obama taking a long drag, just like the many pictures of Bob Marley.

Now that's change I can believe in....

Give the guy a farking break! He's only a human and he only smokes about 3 to 4 cigarettes a day. No one is perfect!
