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.
Not supposed to smoke with the patch or gum....the issue is heart attack risk.
Thx for your kind reply.
Yep, that’s how I quit too. Had a carton on top of the fridge & stared it down for a few months.
Haven’t had a cigarette for 35 years (but love a good cigar every now & then).
Probably someone also posted but it’s Larry Sinclair, the homosexual (former) prostitute, who had a couple of “experiences” with 0bama when 0 was a state rep or whatever he was, senator. And wrote a book about it.
LOL - I do a good pipe now and then - cracks my grandkids up “GRAMMA!”
Great, we have a drug addict as President. LOL
Smoking and golfing and drinking. “maybe a little blow...”
Makes Bill Clinton look almost acceptable.
No women... but I think we know why...lol.
Bet he’d walk a mile for a camel,
and a smoke too ;-)
Rim shot!
Excellent!
Hmmm, is that anything like Progestin?
...or more like NuvaRing?
Cheers!

I suspect Hussein Junior has the same problemo as Slick Willie from the coke habit he bragged about in his book
The fact that his doc just “advised” him to quit smoking and cut down on his heavy boozing is indicative that Mr Present is still snorting nose candy
The laugher is The One is obcessed about illegally forcing Omommiecare on every America under the threat of huge fines and imprisonment
Not the mindset or intelligence of a truly evolved biped primate
Thanks, I'll say this much.
I quit last March and have slipped up 5 times in a year. BUT, I got religion about it when I was doing a massive cardio program and could track metrics (May2009).
45 minutes on a particular NordicTrack series of settings yielded an average heartrate of 160 for me. Smoke ONE cigarette the night before and the average heartrate went to 175 the next day. Smoke 3 puffs and it was at 170. THAT's when I realized what dangerous poisons nicotine and carbon monoxide were.
That site is not welcome here.
Young love is so sweet.
Umm - AIDS. I wonder if he has AIDS.
Nothing would shock me about him. He is the nastiest, most disgusting, vile piece of whale sh*t on the face of the earth.
He’s weak. He’s also an expensive risk for health insurers and taxpayers.
How lame can you get? The leader of the free world, the messiah, the One, the God who has stood before golden (styrofoam) columns quietly extolling the glory of (now bankrupt) Greece can’t kick the habit.
What a gawdawful embarrassment he is.
No wonder he stutters and stammers. He’s having a nicotine fit right there in front of the teleprompter, lol!!
