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.
Can someone explain to me why there are pictures of Obama and this guy?
BS. This is spin to cover up the fact that he’s a chain-smoker. He’s not trying to quit.
Just being a Liberal proves Obama is nuts.
I’ve actually seen people who were trying to quit turn green right in front of me. Then they had a cig and all was good.
Exactly! This is the one time I have actually had a bit of sympathy for him. People are constantly whining about government interference then howl like crazy if someone smokes a cigarette. Let the man alone and let him smoke. Hes bad enough when he is smoking. I’d hate to see how he governs when he is suffering from nicotine withdrawals.
I too don’t care if he smokes....It’s clear that he is still smoking, if he’s on “the patch” or nicorette gum implies that there is some level of nicotine withdrawal.
Apparently, he likes smoking cigarettes like millions of others. And as long as he still likes smoking, he’ll never quit.
Couldn’t have said it better myself......C
I think you are on to something there. That is exactly how a person acts when they want a cigarette bad.
Plugs would be better than O’Booger. Pelosi, not so much. She would be worse than Bambi.
Of course he smokes inside. It’s going to be awful. We’ll never get rid of the stench.
Horse hockey.
I hope he goes to five packs a day. But that is not my point. If he gets his way he will be telling you how to live your life. What you can eat and what you cannot. Exercise or else. Buy insurance or I will fine you or toss your ass in jail. That is not the country I want to live in.
Now there's an idea. I wonder how many would still qualify after a rigorous exam of that sort?
With those blue lips, I suspect nicotine isn’t the only thing he’s been smoking...
Are you series?
Can Bethesda put in some Neuticles, too? Can’t hurt. Might help.
I disagree with that. I smoked for years and never did drugs.
Series and stuned you ax.
