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 Zero must be using Nicabate patches.
is he taking crack replacement therapy also?
Can we get some Obama replacement therapy?
Oh right... Its called Sarah Palin!!! LOL

YES! CITIZEN SARAH AMERICA 2012 !!!!
A biased press is amazing, isn't it? Hitler must by slapping um all, all of the mainstream press corp., spiritually on the back and whispering love notes of socialism and labor and everything for the state as he does so.
Some of the stuff has some really bad side effects = not to good for a POTUS.
For example, this seems to be one of the major meds - promoted by the Mayo Clinc - and ads on TV.
varenicline (Chantix).
Here's a few side effects: “...All patients being treated with CHANTIX should be observed for neuropsychiatric symptoms including changes in behavior, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, and suicide-related events, including ideation, behavior, and attempted suicide. These symptoms, as well as worsening of pre-existing psychiatric illness ...”

that could be quite a lethal mental cocktail in a narcissist personality? ...not to mention mixed with the disease of liberal/progressive/Muslim.
At the head of our country...?
He’s a mental midgit, if he wanted to quit he would just quit!
I quit 2 years ago by setting down the pack of half smoked cigs and that half pack is still sitting alongside the computer!
You mean Zero is less than honest with his family members too? Now that's some transparency that you can believe in!!!!!! - - - - You spotted that, too!
I agree with Jimbo123, he's a pack-a-day smoker.
Yikes. I think I heard on the news that he’s using a nioctene mouth spray.
“Nicotine rewires the Brain, and when you try and Quit, clarity of thinking is modified, Impacted.
Nicotine affects the Synaps or something, I dont know the particulars of the Science of the Brain/Nicotine.
I have heard from smokers who were quiting that this is true, as well as Scientific studies saying quitting affects your clarity of thinking and abilities for a few months while your body re-adapts, including your Brain.”
Pure unadulterated bullshit!!!
Those people don’t want to quit!
Good on you, dalereed.
Under most any circumstance one could imagine - Biden as POTUS would curdle your blood.
However, I believe the reason he's one of the poorest (financially) reps in DC is because he's so darn dumb and has such a motor mouth that no one wants to 'own' him.
I doubt Soros has ever bothered with him, nor do I imagine he's a Muslim sympathizer.
So compared to what we now have sitting on what he considers His Throne - we might well be better off with Biden, whom we might just be able to survive...his native ignorance and imcompetence might be our best bet.
DING DING DING !!! WE HAVE A WINNER !!!
If he ever has the guts to take up Browns’ BB challenge I hope Scott and Ayla run him into the perfect example of those “If you smoke, you choke” PSAs. However I doubt Obama will take them up. There must be at least one lib in the WNBA he could bring in as a ringer to assure a win, but his ego wouldn’t let him play second fiddle to a girl on “his” team.
That's exactly how I quit -
(well, it was long before computers, back when they were 35 cents a pack - in the '60's.)
One day, the phone rang, and per habit, I lit up a cigarette before answering.
then I saw that I had a cigarette burring in the kitchen ashtray...and then, walking into the living room, saw one there too.
then is when I realized I was not in control.
I put the pack down on the kitchen counter and every time I got the urge, I'd pick it up and say "I'm bigger'n you are!" and put it down.
Did that for a full year...over 40 year ago. I think I've got it licked. ;o)
Good on you, Centurion2000 and Congratulations!
” “continue smoking cessation efforts.”
Was this referring to crack or tobacco ?
ell, I think he admitted to smoking cigs and I doubt whether he was tested for drugs...
Lost the W to Well...
Please ping me when they begin brain replacement therapy.
The univ may be done with one of the rats not so skilled in mazes. Should be a great fit.
LOL. Rats for a rat. Clever!!!
