Obama using nicotine replacement therapy

President Barack Obama is using nicotine replacement therapy to help himself quit smoking, according to the results of his physical exam released Sunday.

Navy Capt. Dr. Jeff Kuhlman examined Obama at the Bethesda Naval Medical Center in Maryland Sunday morning and recommended that the president "continue smoking cessation efforts."

Obama's opponents and some in the press raised his cigarette smoking as an issue on the campaign trail. Last June, Obama called himself a "former smoker" who occasionally "slips up" and has a cigarette, but never in front of his family.

Otherwise, Kuhlman noted that Obama is in "excellent" health and is "fit for duty" and is expected to remain that way for the duration of his presidency.

The champion of health care. I really don't care if he smokes or not. I just don't care what he thinks.

If Obama is using nicotine replacement, then he’s been smoking more than a couple of cigarettes a day.

There is only one thing I can relate to with Barrie: the difficulty of quitting smoking. He has my full support and empathy. If I were trying to quit but found myself POTUS, screw quitting. I would be smoking until the end of my term.

Every time he feels the urge to smoke, instead he crushes some freedom in America.

Yeah, I agree, he’s smoking more than a couple of cigs every day.

No wonder he was rude during the 7 hour meeting at Blair House. Jonesing for a cig....lol.

I Don’t like Obama’s policies one bit....But I hope for the SAKE OF THE COUNTRY he can quit. Imagine he gets lung problems and is incapacitated.....JOE BIDEN would be the Commander in Chief!!! Even worse something happens to Joe Biden and Obama then QUEEN NANCY PELOSI...... (UGHHH PUKE)....I can’t bring myself to finish that thought..TOO HORRIBLE to IMAGINE!

Does the President's Physical include a Psychology Exam?

I wonder if the Doctor was able to pry the State Run Media out of Obama’s a$$?
