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.
Is it even safe to be on a nicotine patch while continuing to smoke tobacco? Seems like that could add up to nicotine poisoning.
Meanwhile those who are willing to defend the Constitution are working on Presidential replacement therapy.
He's not quitting he's just substituting delivery methods.

Right, you get smarter within a couple of weeks. Blood / oxygen flow to the brain and all that.
He should buy an e-cig.
I picked the wrong year...
Cocaine?
I can relate to that......LOL!
The movie Airplane comes to mind........
Steve McCroskey: Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.

Steve McCroskey: Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines
I think he’s still smoking poles...
Can we get some Obama replacement therapy?
Oh right... It’s called Sarah Palin!!! LOL
If he had something wrong with him, they would never let it out no matter how minor it was. It’s true he may be perfectly healthy, but then again he may not.
You mean Zero is less than honest with his family members too? Now that's some transparency that you can believe in!!!!!!
What’s he sucking on to replace the cigarette?
Of course he smokes inside. It’s going to be awful. We’ll never get rid of the stench.
He’s told whomever that “I’m the president” and that gives him the greenlight to behave however he wishes according to him.
Is that in conjunction with his Constitution replacement therapy?
I need medical help, I will not receive it.
I wonder if he’s already got onset of COPD? I despise the guy as President, but I wouldn’t wish emphysema on anybody.
I know most people only think about the cancer, but IMO the irreparable destruction of your lungs’ alveoli is even scarier.
Darn right. We bought my in-laws' house where they had been smoking for 30 years. After 16 years, we still smell it. On spring and fall days when the heat and A/C aren't on much, the stale cigarette odors are noticeable. You just can't completely get rid of them.
We'll be paying a bundle for replacement draperies, carpeting and fresh paint for the White House. Even so, I look forward to the day.
Larry Sinclair and zero.
