President Obama has all but quit smoking, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Thursday after the surgeon general issued a report on the health risks of tobacco as part of the administrations anti-smoking campaign.

I quit cold turkey several years ago. We can’t smoke at work, I didn’t want to smoke at home with the daughter seeing me, so the only time I had a chance was when I’d go fishing.
I had about half a pack of stale cigs in my glove compartment that were about two weeks old. I lit one, promptly put it out and threw the rest away. Never lit another one since.
Liars!!!
Hey, bozo, theres space for two more butts up your nose.
You got that right. And his ear too!
I heard it as-
Do you smoke after sex?
I don’t know I never checked.
Exactly, it means that he is still smoking.
I worked with a man for about 15 years before he told me he was a smoker, in those days we were allowed to smoke on the job. I asked how come I'd never seen him smoke and he said he only smoked at home on his porch after dinner - one cigarette and some days he'd skip that one cigarette. He told me he averaged about a pack a month.
I asked him how long he had his "pack a month habit" and he said about 30 years. I knew him to be an honest man or I would not have believed him. He's in his mid 70s now and I have actually witnessed him having an after dinner cigarette - on his porch.
Some self-hypnosis also helped.

Bagdad Bob. lol. So he only smokes the butts!?
I might add though. He wasn’t “trying to quit”.
“Guess he picked the wrong week to quit smoking”.
I had a friend who used the hypnosis method. Someone ones told me that the only way anyone can quit, is you really WANT to quit.

One night, I coughed myself awake and naturally went out to the kitchen for a smoke. I discovered the carton was empty, so I went out to the car to get my “hide-away” pack, but I hadn't had a chance to hide one in the new car.
Back inside, I found the shirt I'd been wearing and two Winstons were in the shirt pocket package. I decided to smoke one right then and to smoke the very last one in the morning (and went back to bed.) This was the self-hypnosis I mentioned.
I smoked the last one the next morning, crumpled up the pack and threw it in the trash. I didn't tell anyone about my decision, having been unmercifully pimped about taking up the habit after previous announcements fell through.
The worst of it was over in about three weeks. (everything tasted good.)
About three months later, some friends noticed I wasn't lighting up and instead of jeers, I got cheers for quietly chucking tobacco.
President Obama has all but quit smoking,..
If by ALL they mean still smoking,being a lying asshat with fraudulent or nonexistent credentials then yes hes all but quit smoking.
Rush called him “Robert Fibbs” today...LOL
That is right.
He has NOT QUIT.
Thanks for backing me up. :)
I’ve been calling him that for the last 6 months...but then, Rush is always one step behind me.
I could care less whether he smokes, or not. Given his age, I guess I would prefer that he continue smoking - the burden he will put upon the taxpayers as a former president will be lessened by his lessened life expectancy.
