Washington, DC (CNS) - Appearing on the cover of Men's Health magazine's November issue, Senator Barack Obama has detailed his step by step plan to rid himself of his cigarette habit.
The Democrat shared, "There have been a couple of times during the campaign when I fell off the wagon and bummed one, and I had to kick it again. But I figure, seeing as I'm running for president, I need to cut myself a little slack."
"There wasn't some dramatic moment. Michelle had been putting pressure on me for a while. I was never really a heavy smoker. Probably at my peak I was smoking seven or eight a day. More typical was three. So it wasn't a huge challenge with huge withdrawal symptoms."
Always the strategist, the U.S. Presidential hopeful offers advice to readers how to eliminate the unhealthy habit.
He told the magazine, "Eliminate certain key connections - that first cigarette in the morning, or after a meal, or with a drink. If you can eliminate those triggers, that should help."

Don't smoke after sex with Larry Sinclair.
Where are the reports about how role models who smoke encourage millions and millions of children to take up smoking?
With all his schisms, I bet ol’ sparky has had a 2 pack a day addiction since the first time he di snort and always after he a homeboy Billy Ayers spent some quality time together.
No Barack. You just quit. You don’t “cut yourself some slack” because you’re running for President. Millions of Americans have everyday pressures that are just as difficult for them. If you want to quit, you quit. You don’t “bum one” here and there. You either smoke or you don’t and don’t make any apologies for it either way.
Why doesn't the "ObaMarlboro Man" simply tax cigarette smokers--- instead of plumbers? Oh, wait...
Hey man, ya got a loosie fo me?
A Freeper once shared with us that when one is quitting smoking, they are always quitting smoking. Kind of like alcohol.
He said the key was to “become a non-smoker”. At one point in my life a chose to “become a smoker”, now I needed to chose to “become a non-smoker”.
I didn’t “try” to quit. I became something totally different. That was two years ago. When I chose to become a non-smoker, I never had one again. No urges, withdrawals, no temptation.
Of course praying is key to wanting to become anything too.
Congrats to your strength. I haven’t seen your posts for a while. :^)
Wht will socialized medicine coming with him, he smokes?? And we have to pay for it???
According to Biden, it's your patriotic duty.
I’d rather that he get rid of his Marxist habit first.
Good point.
Down with the "Marxboro Man".
I would have guessed Virginia Slims.
WOW!
That is good.
Would LOVE to have that on a T-shirt with a picture of that mickey mouse obama and one of his cigarettes hanging out of his mouth!
He is SUCH a LIAR!
I said the EXACT same things when I was quitting smoking--LOL (but wasn't really, don cha know!)
Obama is a man who has SMOKED COCAINE, lies with abandon and has hung out with people who despise and want to harm our country.
This man is a FREAK!
Can you imagine what the stupid press would be saying about McCain if McCain has been a dope smoker, had hung out with people who HATE America, had actually BOMBED American buildings?
Can you IMAGINE that?
And if McCain smoked cigarettes like Obama does.............the PRESS WOULD BE ALL OVER IT!
Ya know its true.
I wonder if I was that freeper. Sounds like stuff I would say. I definitely agree.
But hey, don't "people of color" all smoke menthols?
How does 0bama’s nicotine addiction jive with his call for preventative medicine?
He’s probably planning on insisting that Congress pass a law to outlaw the production, sale and use of tobacco in all forms. That’s the liberal/leftist way isn’t it?
