Let President Obama have a cigarette, already
The Washington Post ^ | 06/09/15 | Philip Bump

Posted on 06/09/2015 10:22:18 AM PDT by Enlightened1

A photograph of President Obama with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has whirred the long-dormant "Is Obama smoking?" conspiracy machine back to life. Posted to Instagram by Renzi's spokesman, it shows the two leaders standing on a balcony adjacent to an office, as one might if he didn't want to smoke indoors. And Obama's holding … something in his hands. Something roughly cigarette-pack-shaped, and he's picking at the top of it.

I remember reading somewhere that the late Jack Webb (of “Dragnet” fame) smoked 2 to 3 packs of Chesterfields per day and those apparently were famous lungbusters. Is this an accurate description for that brand?

They have that reputation.

I never developed the cigarette habit, but my father told me a story from his teen years in which his dad got him to stop swiping the old man’s cigarettes by switching from Camels to Chesterfields. Dad said he stole one pack of Chesterfields from my grand-dad, one time, and then started buying his own.

So, I’m guessing Chesterfields were pretty harsh.

The only people I know who smoke are either early in recovery or are taking psych meds.

Everything about him IS a lie.

But there’s nothing I can do about that.

It’s an old joke from the Seventies. Some big-name actor that was the focus of an anti-smoking campaign. He would say “I quit smoking!” And then he got busted for smoking marijuana, which was a much bigger deal back then than today. So people made fun of him by saying “I quit smoking! (Cigarettes, that is.)”

Can’t remember his name.
