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.
Hey, cut that out, he doesn’t need any more excuses for being a jerk.
Maybe he’ll get jonesing so bad he smokes mass quanities while he’s wearing a few patches.
Nicotine rewires the Brain, and when you try and Quit, clarity of thinking is modified, Impacted.
Nicotine affects the Synaps or something, I don’t 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.
“I would be smoking until the end of my term.”
And so he will be.
Hey prez, come clean. What is it? Half a pack a day?
Did the patch, pills, gum, hypnosis. Longest I quit was a full yr and it was a crave every day. I went to a e-cig. Closest thing to a real cig without all the poisons.
Didn’t a Senator give Obama a e-cig last year?
Obama using his new replacement therapy...
See my tagline.
You are a moron.
He looked hungover and like he needed a smoke at the begining of that HC deal.
drug addict!
send in the anti-tobacco Nazis to tie him up while he goes through withdrawal
[never smoked here, just tired of whiny liberal hypocrites]
LOL. I know it. :)
OTOH, Barry is likely using Nicorette as a substitute for "smoking" the real deal when he can't light up.
Yes, but Biden is just stupid, whereas Hussein is pure evil. We can handle stupidity (see Carter), but evil is devastating to the country.
The exam lasted 90 minutes. Not nearly enough time for a shrink to exam him.
How hard can reading a teleprompter be?
I think I heard on the news that he has a nicotene mouth spray. Maybe it comes in nice wussy flavors.
Are you back to smoking now?
I’m sorry LOL
not
Can America undergo President replacement therapy?
